RALLYING OUR COMMUNITY
The bridal community is a tight-knit group and in times of crisis, we band together and fight! Kelly and the team have worked tirelessly since this crisis began to coordinate community efforts to source supplies and organize production to help create much-needed protective masks.
-
- We have reached out to all of our gown and fabric suppliers overseas asking for donations of PPE. Our overseas gown manufacturers and fabric suppliers are supporting us! So far, 1500 surgical masks and 900 N95’s and face shields are on the way to us to donate to local NY and NJ hospitals.
- Kelly has asked our suppliers to connect us to PPE manufacturers that they trust and work with overseas. We have a list of sources now that are being distributed to local NY, NJ, Boston, and DC hospitals.
- We have asked all of our retail salons to help us by recycling unused fabrics from their salons. We are repurposing our cloth Kelly Faetanini garment bags and our seamstresses are making protective masks from them.
SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES
We are asking for help in any way you can to support our New York City-based operation to make these efforts possible for as long as the demand continues. This is a not-for-profit effort and 100% of your donation goes to materials and overhead to keep our talented US based seamstresses employed.
Your donation includes one washable, 2-ply reusable cotton fabric face mask. If you choose, a second mask will be donated on your behalf. (Shipping is $7.15 for USPS Priority Mail for up to 4 masks.)
ABOUT THE MASKS
Your donation includes one washable, 2-ply reusable cotton fabric face mask. If you choose, a second mask will be donated on your behalf. (Shipping is $7.15 for USPS Priority Mail for up to 4 masks.)
- To fit as many faces as possible, the mask is cut generously around the nose and cheek. To reduce alternative airflow and ensure air flows through the mask and filter, it is recommended to use double-sided tape to secure the protective mask on the nose and cheeks.
- Our masks are not direct substitutes for N95, surgical, or procedural masks and are not FDA approved. However, these protective masks, if used correctly, should help contribute to less person-to-person droplet transmission.
- This is a personal use item and cannot be returned.
- Colors and fabrics will change as we move through supplies, so we cannot guarantee specific patterns for orders at this time.
- The masks can be washed at high temperature in a washing machine.
Please have patience as we work to get these made and out to the places where they are needed most!
