The Carrier Pigeon Project

 

General Information

 “The Carrier Pigeon Project” is redefining our guilty pleasures. Materialism used to be equated with selfishness, with entitlement – and thus, was something frowned upon. But the truth is, we can have consumerism play for our team, on our terms. Through your TCPP purchase, you’ve not only bought something fashionable for yourself, you've also bought hope for a child in need – giving her food, allowing and empowering her to go to school! Put simply, The Carrier Pigeon Project, or TCPP for short, exists to give credence to the ideal of win-win. After all, fashion isn’t just about passion. It’s also about compassion.
