WEST CHESTER, Pa., Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The best gifts
to give or receive are those that help others. On November 28, QVC will once again celebrate Giving
Tuesday with a very special Give Love shirt and scarf created
especially for QVC by Peace Love World, a line of inspirational
women's clothing. A minimum of 60 percent of the purchase price* of
each item will benefit Nest, a global nonprofit committed to the
social and economic advancement of women by supporting female
artisans.
"QVC has a rich heritage of supporting female entrepreneurs with
our ongoing commitment to promoting the success and wellness of
women through the power of relationships," said Rachel Ungaro, Vice President of Apparel
Merchandising and Design for QVC. "We are proud to once again
support Nest and the work it does to empower women artisans with
the tools and resources they need to flourish personally and
professionally. Giving Tuesday is the perfect opportunity to give
back, and we are excited to offer two special items to spread this
message of hope and love this year."
This year's Giving Tuesday items will connect QVC customers more
closely than ever with the people and stories behind their
purchases. Every Peace Love World Give Love shirt features a
heart-shaped patch hand-embroidered by artisan women in
Guatemala who are supported by
Nest. The Peace Love World Give Love scarf features a selection of
the brand's signature affirmations.
"Peace Love World was born out of my mission to inspire people
not only to seek love, but to give love as well," said Alina Villasante, Peace Love World Founder and
Designer. "This heart patch stands for what caring about others can
do, how we can help each other and touch each other's lives in a
positive way. No matter how you style the shirt and the scarf,
you'll look and feel great knowing you made a world of difference
to female artisans who need our help to thrive and flourish."
Funds raised through QVC's 2016 Giving Tuesday initiative
allowed Nest to bring support to 35 new artisan businesses,
expanding its impact to reach more than 60,000 people globally.
"The impact of QVC customers around the world is being felt by
artisan women who need this support," said Rebecca van Bergen, Nest Founder and Executive
Director. "Nest could not be more thrilled to align with QVC again
as we work together to empower women globally."
To join the celebration of generosity, shoppers can tune in to
QVC on November 28 or visit QVC.com

Throughout the day, QVC will feature segments that highlight
inspiring stories of those who have benefited from the valuable
resources provided by Nest. The creators of Nest and Peace Love
World will also share how they made their respective passions a
reality. QVC is asking shoppers to help share the love and show
their hearts by sharing a photo in the Give Love shirt or scarf on
social media, tagging QVC, and using #QtheLove and
