As a result of this new venture, for every TOMS / Target gift bought, items such as shoes and blankets and meals will be given to those in need, through American Red Cross Disaster Relief, Canadian Red Cross Disaster Relief, Feeding America and Food Banks Canada.

The collection bears TOMS’ earthy, rough-hewn aesthetic, and includes artfully frayed slip-on canvas shoes, weathered-looking T-shirts and pullovers and muted hues, nubby knit throws and glass water bottles suggestive of recycled vessels.

“Target’s holiday partnership with TOMS is the perfect marriage of both brands’ core values—great design that’s accessible to everyone and a commitment to giving back,” commented Kathee Tesija, Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising and Supply Chain Officer, at Target.

“We’re excited to partner with Target for the holidays and take TOMS' One for One giving model further than ever before,” commented Blake Mycoskie, adding: "Every purchase allows Target’s guests to bring home a beautifully designed product and do good, providing nourishment, warmth and shoes to a person in need.”
