Coach has sold watches in the name of breast cancer awareness in the past, but this year introduces its new Lexington Breast Cancer Awareness watch, its stainless steel face and chic pink leather band a timely reminder that it is indeed stylish to trumpet awareness on behalf of breast cancer. .jpg)
Philip Treacy's latest creation -- a bright pink abstraction of the breast cancer ribbon -- will be sold exclusively at Selfridges with all proceeds going to Breast Cancer Care. Of course Treacy is the milliner behind the boldest fashion statements from the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Moss. He was also the genius who designed Camilla Parker Bowles's matrimonial millinery. Each one of the special "Pink Knot Hats" will be made to order. Contact Selfridges for more information and see philiptreacy.co.uk for his latest ready-to-wear collection.
October is breast cancer awareness month and companies are already getting ready with pink merchandise. National Jeweler reports that jewelry designers Jane Basch and Andrea Candela are both debuting jewelry collections that will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Jane Basch's latest collection is called "Tribute" and for every piece purchased from he collection Basch will contribute 5 percent to the Komen foundation.
One of the hottest accessories around just went hot pink! Alexander McQueen's scarves have been dipped in pink and scattered with paisley to benefit Breast Cancer Care through Selfridges & Co's charitable Pinkridges event. The event runs from the end of August and the scarf will only cost £140 -- a small price to support one of the common diseases among women. Wear something beautiful with a message and you'll find that fashion has a fabulously pink lining. Who doesn't love pink?
Lavender Trust is an charitable program that helps women dealing with breast cancer. What makes Lavender Trust different than all the other cancer care organizations, is their focus on a younger age group, they work primarily with women around the age of 30 who've been recently diagnosed. Programs are all free to the public and include a helpline, peer support and direct health care advice. Last year many celebrities generously donated dresses to an auction which raised funds to keep these worthwhile programs going. You can help support their cause by donating directly or by shopping at their fabulous online boutique, all proceeds go directly to Lavender Trust breast cancer support initiatives.

This month is full of brilliant products to raise money for breast cancer. Riedel Crystal which offered a special glass last year, has created a Pink Champagne "O" glass to toast women whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. Unlike the other "O" glasses, the Pink Champagne glass sits on a ribbed hollow pedestal and the bowl is an elongated tulip shape. The glasses look a bit more like a pilsner glass than a champagne flute. A pair of Pink O Champagne glasses will retail for $27 with 15% of the wholesale price donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer. The black box will be emblazoned with the breast cancer pink ribbon.
Coach is another company promoting breast cancer awareness this month with the Coach Gallery Breast Cancer Watch. The watch is elegant, affixed to a simple stainless steel bangle, and comes with three interchangeable faceplates: pink enamel, Swarovski crystal and the signature Coach pattern in pink. The watch casing is engraved with a breast cancer ribbon, as well. The watches will be available through the end of the year and $100 from each purchase will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Price: $398.
