VONNY GIVES LAGNAIPPE IN SUPPORT OF BREAST CANCER AWARENESS AND PREVENTION

This October, 20% of sales of the Vonny Pink Mardi Gras Beads Line Will Go To Support The Susan G Komen Foundation

Los Angeles, CA – Vonny, the tote and accessories company inspired by Southern hospitality and LA style, is now motivated by “Lagnaippe”, Cajun French for “a little something extra” as it adds charitable giving to the company, beginning with its support of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Breast Cancer Awareness month. Vonny will donate 20% of the Pink Mardi Gras Beads line to the Susan G Komen Foundation the entire month of October.


Dedicated to supporting breast cancer is near and dear to Vonny Faucheux, Vonny designer and founder, as one of her best friends was diagnosed at 30 years old after finding a lump in her breast. “Sometimes, a little something extra is all it takes,” says Vonny. “That little something extra each of us can do can make a big impact in the lives of others. We are thrilled to support the Susan G Komen Foundation and hope that the support we give can provide that little something to keep more women healthy, happy and cancer free.”

ABOUT VONNY:

Inspired by the lifestyle-conscious urban dweller and by vintage Southern California style, VONNY exists to make life easier and more pleasurable.

After 16 years together, Vonny and Jerry Fauchex, Louisiana natives, entrepreneurs and lovers of fashion from a young age, found themselves a natural fit as co-founders of an accessories line. Together they fell in love with California, and like many California dreamers, were inspired by the creative, entrepreneurial spirit of SoCal. Life in Los Angeles nurtured their vision and vonny was born with the goal of creating products that embrace lasting design, quality materials and affordable chic.

Vonny products bring Lagnaippe – Cajun French for “a little something extra” – into the lives of their owners. vonny is for a life that is both conscious and picturesque in the face of the challenges of modern, urban existence. Combining life’s most practical considerations - healthy habits, financial well being, environmental sustainability - with a passion for patterns and colors that delight and inspire, the creators of vonny started with a personal understanding of what individuals like themselves and their friends wanted and needed to help navigate the daily routine. vonny bags are designed to accompany their owners anywhere they might travel, from the gym to the market to the beach or around the world, with anything from a healthy lunch to a bottle of wine to a baby in tow. From this sensibility the vonny line was born; sensible, essential products that reflect a love for that little something extra that makes life worth living.
