Philanthropy - threads for threads Initiative
Unique not only in its uncompromising approach to style and quality, FIGS alternately sets itself apart as a forward-playing company with its "threads for threads" initiative. For every tie purchased from FIGS, a child in a developing country is provided with a uniform in order that they may attend school. FIGS supports the creation of hope and confidence through the promotion of global education. A purchase of a FIGS tie outfits not only yourself, but also a child in need.
