The 12th of August Saint Tropez releases their charity WOMAN TO WOMAN scarf in shops around Europe. The scarf raises money for climate driven women in Myanmar, and thus enabling them to provide for their families.

The WOMAN TO WOMAN scarf is a lot more than just another elegant accessory. The scarf is a gift for yourself or a friend – and at the same time a gift for women in distress in Myanmar.

Many women in Myanmar lost everything two years ago when a violent cyclone hit their villages, destroying hundreds of thousands of homes, displacing families and ruining their ability to provide for themselves.

Every time a WOMAN TO WOMAN scarf is handed across the counter, the profit of EUR 6,50 is directed to women in Myanmar, helping them establish e.g. a small sewing or textile business and thus enabling them to provide for their families.

”By producing, selling and giving the overhead of the WOMAN TO WOMAN scarf on to humanitarian work, Saint Tropez is able to give a hand to the women in Myanmar that reaches into the future. A sewing machine and some fabric can empower these women and help them take charge of their own life and the life of their family,” says Hans-Peter Henriksen, CEO at Saint Tropez.

Saint Tropez gives the profit from the sale of the WOMAN TO WOMAN scarf to women in Myanmar. Saint Tropez and the International Humanitarian NGO, the Danish Refugee Council, are partners in WOMAN TO WOMAN. The Danish Refugee Council ensures that the money is directed to the right women, helping the most in the best manner possible.

”We are looking forward to give the support from Saint Tropez to the women of Myanmar. These women have lost everything – except the will to fight, live and create a better future for their children. They need our help to rebuild their lives. The partnership with Saint Tropez makes sure that we can meet their needs,” says Henriette von Essen-Leise, Head of Fundraising of the Danish Refugee Council.

The WOMAN TO WOMAN scarf is to be found in a wide range of stores in Europe from August 12th.
