the sale will benefit Save the Children, Rachel’s philanthropic
organization of choice, through the eBay for Charity platform.
“One of the best parts of my job is empowering people to make
choices that reflect their personal style. This is why I was so
excited to design two exclusive prints for eBay’s Summer of Choice
campaign, which gives shoppers the chance to vote for their
favorite,” said Rachel Zoe, Creative Director of Rachel Zoe
Collection. “I am equally thrilled that with this initiative we are
able to give back to children in need—with each backpack purchased,
