      In recognition of World Oceans Day (June 8), Holt Renfrew has released a limited-edition capsule collection with Parisian fashion house Kenzo to benefit the Blue Marine Foundation.

      The two-piece line consists of a metallic blue pouch ($195) and wallet ($130)—each embossed with Kenzo’s flying logo—and is available at Holt Renfrew’s in-house shop, H Project, which stocks handcrafted, small-batch, and responsibly produced fashion, home, and beauty items.

      For every Kenzo x Holt Renfrew pouch or wallet sold, Holt Renfrew will donate $25 to the Blue Marine Foundation, a U.K.–based nonprofit organization that aims to protect marine life by speaking out against overfishing and enabling the establishment of marine reserves.

      “We are thrilled that Kenzo has partnered with us to help raise funds for Blue Marine Foundation,” said Alexandra Weston, director of brand and creative strategy at Holt Renfrew, in a media release. “Protecting our oceans is a cause that is integral to our world’s healthy future and one I am personally passionate about.”

      Kenzo’s creative directors, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, have worked with the Blue Marine Foundation since 2013. They’ve previously crafted graphic T-shirts, sweatshirts, and 100-percent silk bandanas in support of the nonprofit.

      “In buying this product, we hope our Canadian friends will join our cause to help the plight currently affecting our oceans,” said Lim and Leon.

      The Kenzo x Holt Renfrew line is the 13th edition of Holt Renfrew’s H Project collaborations, which benefit charities from around the globe.
