At LORE, we believe a brand’s purpose goes beyond creating beautiful, meaningful products—like our beloved intangible cultural heritage-inspired bags. It’s about showing up for the communities that surround us, especially those facing hard times. That’s why we’re proud to share a promise we live by every quarter: 2% of the proceeds from every single order goes directly to organizing in-person initiatives that provide food, daily necessities, and care to vulnerable groups—including low-income families, hardworking sanitation workers, and people experiencing homelessness.
For us, this isn’t just a “charity project”—it’s a way to turn your support into real, tangible help for those who need it most. Each time you purchase a LORE bag, you’re not just bringing home a piece of craftsmanship; you’re contributing to a hot meal for a sanitation worker who starts their shift before dawn, a warm blanket for someone sleeping on the streets, or essential supplies like soap and toothpaste for a low-income family struggling to make ends meet.
Every quarter, our team partners with local community organizations to plan and run these distribution events. We don’t just drop off supplies—we show up, chat with the people we’re helping, and listen to their stories. Last quarter, for example, we spent a Saturday morning at a community center in a working-class neighborhood, handing out boxes of fresh produce, canned goods, and hygiene kits to 150 low-income households. Later that week, we visited a busy downtown area to give hot coffee, sandwiches, and gloves to sanitation workers who were braving the cold to keep the streets clean. We also set up a pop-up station near a homeless shelter, where we distributed warm meals, socks, and sleeping bags—items that might seem small, but make a huge difference in someone’s day.
What makes this initiative even more special is that it’s driven by you—our customers. Every order, whether it’s a small crossbody or a statement tote, adds up to create change. We share updates and photos from each distribution event on our social media, so you can see exactly how your purchase is helping. This transparency matters to us: we want you to know that your trust in LORE isn’t just invested in a product, but in a community of care.
At LORE, we’re grateful for the chance to use our platform for good. We believe that even small acts of kindness—when done consistently—can build a brighter, more supportive world. So the next time you carry your LORE bag, know that it’s more than an accessory: it’s a symbol of hope for someone who needs it most.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Here’s to many more quarters of giving, connecting, and making a difference—together.
