Each Vilebrequin Collection comes with a wonderful story to tell. This is my favorite one.
For the 40th year anniversary of the brand, they decided to support the Plant A Fish foundation for Sea Turtle Restoration along with Fabien Cousteau. Fabien is the grandson of noted ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau, and founder of the non-profit organisation; Plant A Fish.
“Our initiatives empower and educate local communities through the action of “re-planting” aquatic species of plants and animals in environmentally stressed areas to make a positive impact. Plant A Fish partners with like minded entities including schools, businesses, government agencies, as well as other non-profits to restore our one and only water planet.”
Now Vilebrequin has dedicated a unique product offering – the Vilebrequin “Plant A Fish” collection from which proceeds of $10 per item purchased will be donated to Fabien’s organization to help towards the restoration of Sea Turtles – the brand’s iconic symbol!
Three distinct designs which are part of the “Plant A Fish” collection are on sale at the Vilebrequin store in the Marina Casa de Campo – and would make a great addition to your beach wardrobe!
Vilebrequinis the perfect example that corporate social responsibility can be good for business and the community as well.
A Vilebrequin can be found right here in La Marina, Casa de Campo
