Being so far away, living and working in Florence, Italy, The Heart Factory’s Christine Tortora and Jen Mascali (friends and fellow handbag designers) felt helpless and homesick with the disaster caused by Hurricane Sandy.
“We wanted to extend our hearts to New York, our home, and do our part to help with the Sandy relief efforts. We hope that the hearts will be a symbol of love and hope, and mak
e people smile”
Each heart charm, made of soft patent, fine Italian, calfskin leather, is hand punched, hand laced and made with 100% love. One hundred percent of profit from the sale of every heart charm, currently available at Scoop NYC, will be donated to the American Red Cross to support Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief. It is our goal to continue extending out hearts and spreading love to charitable causes
