SMART WORKS


From championing female empowerment to conscious fashion initiatives, we work closely with selected charities that we believe in such as Smart Works. As a small, female-led team, we’re always trying to do things better, giving back and supporting our community as much as we can.


HOW TO DONATE


For Giving Tuesday, we’re adding donation bags to every order in the UK while quantities last. We wanted to make it easier for you to donate your pre-loved clothes, and to know that they are going to a great purpose. Smart Works coaches and dresses unemployed women for success at their job interview. They welcome pre-loved items such as smart blazers, trousers, dresses, flat shoes and handbags


Please note the donation bag is not meant for returns. If you’re looking to return item(s), go to our Returns Portal.



Simply follow the steps below to make a donation directly to Smart Works:


01/

Fill the bag with your pre-loved clothes donation.

02/

A pre-paid label is already attached to the bag.

When you buy a dress from ALIGNE on Giving Tuesday, we’re donating a dress to Smart Works
