As if being the man behind Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton wasn’t enough, Marc Jacobs is branching out again with another line- Jacobs by Marc Jacobs. While creating yet another diffusion collection may seem a little extraneou, Jacobs by Marc Jacobs actually has a great mission behind the product. The range of t-shirts, totes and wallets will feature the work of artists with disabilities, and all proceeds will go to the Creative Growth Art Center.

I love that the line provides not just philanthropy in the form of monetary donations (don’t get me wrong, donating money is amazing, and all proceeds is even more so), but also provides a platform for these artists to get their work to a larger audience and spread the word about the amazing work being done at the  Creative Growth Art Center. Artistic expression is truly theraputic. Marc Jacobs may be scheming to take over the world one diffusion line at a time, but with humanitarian projects like this- that give me a great excuse to buy a cute new wallet- I can’t help but be a loyal follower of King Jacobs.
