CHARLES & KEITH believes that every girl has a right to a bright start in life. Therefore, this International Day of the Girl (11 October 2019), we aim to support the education of more than 1,000 girls through a partnership with the non-profit organisation Save the Children. We have also designed an exclusive jewellery collection and committed US$100,000 to the campaign to demonstrate our commitment.
