Tory Burch Targets Breast Cancer... Celebrated New York fashion designer Tory Burch made her way to li'l old Dublin last week and put local models Karen Fitzpatrick and Sarah Morrissey through their paces at Brown Thomas. Tory was here to launch her leopard print tote bag for the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 2010 campaign... Karen Fitzpatrick, Tory Burch, Sarah Morrissey In the past few years the likes of Elle Macpherson, Helena Christensen, Erin O'Connor, Minnie Driver and Paul Smith have all been involved with Brown Thomas' Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign, and raised tons of money for the worthwhile cause.

Tory Burch Tote Bag The uber fashionable mala retails for 45 Euros and is available now at Brown Thomas, yes right now - even Off The Rails presenter Sonya Lennon showed up at the BT launch to endorse the wee must-have accessory.

Isn't it time you came forward and told everyone how little money gets spent on Cancer. You must feel great to be paid with money from donations people think are going to help those afflicted with this terrible disease. The reality is you are stuffing your face with food purchased with that money. The donations support the lives of the charity's officers first and then a wee bit trickles to those that need it. Ouch March 22, 2010 - 18:49 Sarah has legs like the scottish rugby team!!! The truth HURTS – Dublin March 22, 2010 - 18:07 Jane... You make me laugh!! You "thank Brown thomas"... Of course you do!! The money which is raised goes to pay your salary and the salaries of others! How much of the money raised actually goes towards programmes aimed at helping people?? I know the answer. Come now, and let everyone know what a miniscule percentage goes to the programmes and not to your salary. I will be happy to share Jane! Harriet – Coolock March 22, 2010 - 18:06 how annoying is seamus.stop writing that every time.head wrecker. Sarah – dublin via munster March 22, 2010 - 17:35 Guys you cynics should buy the bag and cover your heads. Maybe buy some ketchup too to go with the huge chips you have on your shoulders! This is a fantastic bag and a fantastic cause and all the money stays in Ireland no ties in with a UK charity! Well done to Brown Thomas and all involved! Am off to buy the bag now! PR Lady – Dublin London March 22, 2010 - 16:07 Well said Jane, don't heed some of the idiots that come on here and talk nonsense, no one else does. Just some sad spotty eejit sitting behind a computer in their parent's basement. Well done Brown Thomas and The Irish Cancer Society. Jane Curtin – Dublin March 22, 2010 - 16:02 My name is Jane Curtin, Communications Manager, Irish Cancer Society. Just a quick note to confirm that Action Breast Cancer (a programme of the Irish Cancer Society) and Europa Donna Ireland are the Irish charities that benefit from the annual Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign. Over the last 5 years €500,000 has been raised and all monies have been used to fund breast awareness progammes and information, advice and support services for women with breast cancer. For further info Freefone the National Cancer Helpline on 1800 200 700 or see www.cancer.ie. We thank Brown Thomas on taking an important lead in fundraising for this very common disease. Model A1 – Dublin March 22, 2010 - 14:37 tory is STUNNING in the flesh, these two 'models' could take some tips from her on how to pose and smile simultaneously! HOW hard can it be girls??? Cassie – Dublin March 22, 2010 - 12:12 @Wallace: The original post said " Irish people raising money for breast cancer" and as I said-since when is Tory Burch Irish??? If you believe that this is anything other than someone making money out of a good cause then you are obviously something that sounds very like leopard! Wallace – Dublin March 22, 2010 - 10:37 "Since when is Tory Burch Irish?" There is no mention of this Cassie........ Sebastian Longchamps – Grafton Street March 22, 2010 - 10:01 I'm proud that Seamus is embarrassed to be Irish! On another note - would it be too much to ask these Promotion Girls to smile? Aoife Mary March 22, 2010 - 01:23 I'm waiting for the "Wow, Morgan from Industry, Industry is the best band EVER! They are such total celebrities on their way to the TOP!" PR wagon to sweep in as usual... Cassie – Dublin March 21, 2010 - 22:11 Since when is Tory Burch Irish? Don't delude yourself that this is raising much money for anything other than Brown Thomas! Seamus is right to be ashamed! PR Guru – D4 March 21, 2010 - 22:10 Bluesky, your heart is in the right place but you must be blind not to see the "shameful" attempt by a corporation to flog product on the back of a good cause. If you knew the talk that went on to make this deal happen, you would in fact be ashamed to be irish, as I am too. bluesky – dublin March 21, 2010 - 22:05 for once seamus give it a rest - Irish people raising money for breast cancer? yes yes of course you're right - it's shameful - you idiot! Seamus – Drogheda March 21, 2010 - 20:01 I'm ashamed to be Irish!
