Prabal Gurung is undoubtedly one of the most noted and loved Nepalese personalities around the world. The Nepalese-American fashion designer might be residing hundreds of miles away from his home-land, but he has never for even a second forgotten about the place he comes from. And that’s the very reason he has always done what he can to support Nepal and its citizens during the hard times.
In 2011, Gurung founded a charity organization named Shikshya Foundation Nepal that has been working towards providing education to the impoverished children. Post Nepal earthquake 2015, the organization has also been helping aid relief efforts in this South Asian nation.
Gurung has recently collaborated with the philanthropic shoe company based in California, Toms Shoes. The Toms x Prabal Gurung Alpargata line has recently come up with four different styles of shoes. For every pair of Toms x Prabal Gurung shoes purchased, $5 will be donated to Shikshya Foundation Nepal; with the commitment of minimum contribution of USD 20k.
Talking about the collaboration, Gurung says, “What excites me about collaborating with TOMS is our shared belief in inspiring others and giving back. We’re coming together to make a difference in the world by what we do.”
These pair of shoes cost $59 (Black & Red Fair), $65 (White Snow Leopard), $98 (Black Snow Leopard) and $129 (Black Suede Contrast) each. See the details below.
