TOMS Marketplace Shares the Social Good Love

When TOMS shoes hit the market in 2006, the company quickly became the poster child for the buy-one-give-one social impact model.

Instead of producing these products in-house, TOMS has partnered with a group of companies all sharing complementary social good missions. The microsite features an array of 200 products from 30 different companies, with items ranging from bracelets to bags to bikes.
