This February, Radley London supports Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey by launching a Handbag Amnesty campaign in their US flagship store, at Roosevelt Field Mall (Garden City, NY). Radley is asking customers to donate a handbag and in exchange they will be rewarded with $50 off a new handbag of their choice, valued at $250 or more. 

Launching in time for Valentine’s Day makes the ‘Give and be Given’ campaign for Goodwill Industries even more poignant; all unwanted handbags collected by Radley will be sent to the Charity’s retail stores.

Radley is delighted at the opportunity to help raise money for Goodwill Industries, aiding to support the charity’s valuable work in job training programs and employment services for youth, people with disabilities, those who lack education or job experience, and other job seekers.

On the ‘Give and be Given’ campaign, Radley’s CEO Sven Gaede commented, “As a brand, Radley London is committed to charitable endeavours, and we are pleased to partner with Goodwill. We look forward to supporting charitable partnerships like this for the benefit of the community”.

William J. Forrester, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey says: “We are very pleased to partner with a London-based retailer. Each donated handbag will help us provide vital employment and support services for those who need it most. Goodwill NY-NJ is grateful for Radley London’s participation.”

The popular Grosvenor and Mayfair are just two of the beautiful handbags available in the ‘Give and be Given’ campaign during the month of February.
