Native New Orleanian Cecile Hardy returns home to give back with NOLA couture, a line of charitably-minded accessories.
Hardy left the world of corporate America post hurricane for a "leave of absence" to volunteer in New Orleans. "A couple of months turned into 3 years," she said.
Her newest project... the Rebirth bracelet. This is joint venture between NOLA Couture and local jewelry artist India Stewart. Each medallion, stamped with Stewart's original pelican fleur-de-lis design, is strung on a satin or leather cord, with its color signifying one of four charities supported by its sales: red for the Louisiana SPCA, navy for the Preservation Resource Center, pink for breast cancer research and light blue for Children's Hospital's Miracle Week program.
"I had this dream of everyone in New Orleans wearing this bracelet, and you could look at the color and see what they really stood for, what they felt strongly about, " she said.
Cecile Hardy is a good friend to Ex-cessories.com and we thank her for all that she does to help New Orleans. Help support NOLA Couture and your favorite charity by purchasing a Rebirth bracelet today!
