Toms Shoes Origin - USA
Founded in 2006 by entrepreneur-cum-philanthropist, Blake Mycoskie, TOMS has a unique business model of ‘One for One’ that contributes a pair of shoes to a person in need with every pair of TOMS shoes purchased. During a short period, the brand has expanded its portfolio from selling TOMS sneakers and TOMS shoes for men and women to sell eyewear, bags and apparel based on this revolutionary concept that has created history. With every pair of Toms sunglasses sold, a contribution is made for restoring someone’s eyesight and with every TOMS bag sold an expectant mother is provided a birth kit somewhere around the world. Blake’s simple idea of sustainable philanthropy powered by for-profit business has grown into a global movement today.
