CLARINS x FEED SPRING 2022 EXCLUSIVE GIFT WITH PURPOSE

NEW YORK, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After commemorating a landmark ten-year partnership in 2021, Clarins and FEED Project enter a new decade together, dedicated to supporting school meal programs worldwide. This spring, Clarins x FEED will debut a limited-edition pink floral motif FEED pouch (available at Nordstrom, Saks, and Dillard's) and tote bag (exclusively at Macy's and Bloomingdale's) as a complimentary Gift with Purpose. Each gift represents seven meals provided by Clarins through FEED's giving partners: the UN World Food Programme, No Kid Hungry, and Akshaya Patra.

School meals do more than provide children with the much-needed nutritional value for growing, learning, and thriving. Guaranteed meals incentivize parents to make education a core part of their child's life. In countries where poverty and discrimination may not encourage scholastic pursuits equally, guaranteed meals provide the support and structure needed to bridge the gap. "Feeding children and providing them access to education is essential to build a better future," says Virginie Courtin, Clarins Group Managing Director, who continues to drive the partnership forward.

By the end of 2022, Clarins will have provided over 38 million school meals to children in need through FEED's giving partners. "FEED is so proud of this beautiful partnership with Clarins, and the 38 million meal impact is thanks in part to the generous support of customers around the globe," states Lauren Bush Lauren, CEO and Founder of FEED Project.

During the Clarins x FEED initiative, Clarins customers shopping $75 or more during the designated retail partnership dates, will receive a FEED tote bag or pouch courtesy of Clarins, filled with travel-sized Clarins' bestsellers (valued around $250), transforming the standard 'gift with purchase' to a Gift with Purpose. Each gift represents seven meals provided by Clarins, via Feed's giving partners, on the customer's behalf.

Clarins x FEED exclusive Spring 2022 bags are available during the following dates:

• Nordstrom counters: beginning March 29th through April 14th
• Saks counters: beginning April 20th through May 8th
• Macy's counters: beginning April 22nd through May 8th
• Dillard's counters: beginning May 6th through May 14th
• Bloomingdale's counters: beginning June 9th through June 25th
