The fashion industry is really coming together to help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
In addition to Coach donating $5 million to the Japanese Red Cross, fast fashion chain Uniqlo is also shelling out a whopping $25.6 million for relief efforts.
The president of Uniqlo, Tadashi Yanai, is personally donating $12.2 million from his own pocket with another $4.9 million coming from the company itself.
The country’s largest retailer is also distributing more than $8 million in coats, jeans, towels and 300,000 pairs of Heattech thermal underwear.
Wow!
So generous and we’re sure the recipients are more than grateful.
