NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Echo Design, a leading fashion and home accessories brand announces Share The Warmth, a charitable promotion that will launch on today on Echo Design.

The promotion will benefit Fashion Delivers, a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing apparel and other products donated by manufacturers and retailers to community charities across the country. 

Share the Warmth - Buy One, We'll Donate Two. Starting November 11^th through December 1, 2013 Echo Design invites consumers to purchase cold weather items, such as gloves, hats or mufflers from www.echodesign.com and for each unit sold, the company will donate two comparable items to those in need through Fashion Delivers.  All the items donated will go to those in the northeast still impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, one year later.  Echo Design wants to help ensure people keep warm this winter.

"Giving back has always been part of our 90 year heritage and this holiday season, we are proud to partner with Fashion Delivers. There is a need to continue to support communities affected by Hurricane Sandy and we hope to provide warmth in the cold months ahead by donating winter scarfs, hats and gloves to those in need," says Lynn Roberts, Vice President of Communications, Echo Design.

"Recovering from a natural disaster is a long, challenging road, which is why we are still working with New York and New Jersey charities to help people affected by Hurricane Sandy," said Fashion Delivers Chairman Allan Ellinger. "This program is a great way for consumers to help people in need while also getting beautiful products. We're counting on the generosity of companies like Echo Design, as well as their customers, to help keep people warm this winter."
