Pink Ribbon Shoes & Handbags

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as such many retailers and manufacturers run special promotions to help raise money for the cause.

Below are several such promotions, including specific shoes and handbags you can buy that will help to raise money for breast cancer research.

Privo Pink Ribbon Flip Flops

These cool, limited edition flip flops feature a pink ribbon strap and fluffy synthetic wool lining for the ultimate in luxury. But most importantly, proceeds of each pair sold will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The flip-flops retail for $50.00 (US). (Buy Direct)

eBags Supports Breast Cancer Research Year-Round

Looking for handbags? You'll definitely want to check out eBags. In addition to having a great selection in everything from luggage to handbags, year-round they donate 10% of the retail price of any pink product purchased on their site to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

New Balance Lace Up for the Cure

Since 1989, New Balance has been associated with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Race for the Cure, and has been a National Series Sponsor since 1991. In addition to sponsoring the breast cancer survivors who make up the Honorary Team New Balance at Komen Races, they offer a pretty extensive collection of Pink Ribbon footwear and apparel, so that you can show your support and experience the comfort of New Balance.

Pink Shoes at Shoes.com

During the month of October, Shoes.com is donating 10% of the price of any pink shoe purchases to Komen for the Cure. And not that you need any further incentive, but I should tip you off that pink is going to be one of the hotter shoe colors for Spring and Summer 2009.
