Kiyonna Clothing Goes Above and Beyond the Rack with Dignity U Wear

 Anaheim, CA – February 26, 2010 – Each season due to overproduction or lack of salability, manufacturers are left with racks of excess merchandise in perfect condition.  In a collaborative effort, plus size manufacturer Kiyonna Clothing has donated over 500 new dresses and career separates to Florida-based charity organization, Dignity U Wear.

 Dedicated to positively impacting the lives of children and their families, Dignity U Wear distributes the newly acquired apparel to those in need with the hopes of restoring a new sense of hope.  For the last five years, Kiyonna has worked alongside with Dignity U Wear to provide curvy women new dresses, tops and bottoms in sizes 10-32.

“We have tremendous appreciation for Kiyonna and for their generous clothing donations.  As a result of Kiyonna’s philanthropic spirit, Dignity U Wear has been able to provide lovely apparel for our plus size recipients facing traumatic time in their lives.  These beautiful garments give ladies the dignity needed to pursue a career to help support themselves and their families.” says Karin Bunnell, Director of Procurement, Dignity U Wear.

Allocating off season merchandise and preparing them for distribution is no small feat.  A welcome annual challenge for this plus size powerhouse, every Kiyonna team member partakes in this organizing and packing process.  “Donating to an organization like Dignity U Wear gives an amazing feeling!  I know that at the end of the day, I work for a company full of women with big hearts, and there is nowhere else that I would want to work.  I get to come to work and help someone else, that makes me feel like there is good in the world and everyone deserves a piece of it!” Michelle Wright, Operations Specialist, Kiyonna Clothing 

For a company that prides itself on “not just selling a product, but a feeling,” Kiyonna truly believes that all curvy women deserve to look stylish and feel amazing.  The seamless collaboration between Kiyonna and Dignity U Wear transcends any fashion trend and has great longevity.
