Game for scoring designer duds at a fraction of the original price? Now add to that the feel-good knowledge that your money goes to charity, and you've got Flair.
On September 24-25, 2011, the Chicago Lighthouse is hosting the first annual Flair, a two-day sale at the 900 North Michigan Shops featuring new and gently used designer clothes and accessories. All proceeds go to the nonprofit, which supports blind and visually impaired adults and children.
How do they get all those pretty little numbers? From your kind donations of designer clothes and accessories, naturally. Organizers have already collected some solid inventory for the sale, including the items pictured above, as well as a woven Bottega Veneta handbag, which will be raffled off at the sale.
Fork over a little more dough to the nonprofit for a Saturday morning VIP event, which includes a runway show, preview sale, and breakfast and mimosas.
WHAT: Flair: Fun. Fashion. Philanthropy.
WHEN: Sat., Sep. 24-Sun., Sep. 25
WHERE: The 900 North Michigan Shops, 900 N. Michigan Ave., Level 5
TICKETS: General admission, $10; VIP ticket, $100. Available online.
