Community

Supporting the perpetual growth of our community is important to the brand, as we couldn’t have come this far without the support of those around us. The support of Malaysian women who believed in the quality and beauty of our shoes was what boosted the brand in its formative years. To show our appreciation and pay it forward, we’ve carried out events and campaigns over the years to support organizations and people in need, and we’d like to share that with you.

Pink October 2017

In celebration of #PinkOctober, Nelissa Hilman collaborated with artist Sharina Shahrin for a special in-store art installation. The installation was a physical representation that 1 out of 20 women in Malaysia will experience breast cancer in their lifetime or have dealt with a friend or family member with breast cancer. The installation ran from 4th October 2017 until 6th November 2017.

We also raised RM4064 from 10% of our sales throughout October 2017. We donated it to the Breast Cancer Welfare Association of Malaysia for the amazing work they do in providing peer support to women who have breast cancer. 

COVID-19

Since COVID-19 hit the world, we realized that our community needed support more than ever. We donated to several causes and ran a campaign of our own.

FV COVID-19 SUPPORT FUND

On behalf of IMARET (IMAM Response & Relief Team), FashionValet organized a fundraiser to support frontliners by mobilizing volunteers to assist at health facilities, aid frontliners who were hospitalized or quarantined, and provide medical and general supplies to hospitals. We believed in this cause and donated a total of RM2340 to aid in their efforts.

Mercy Malaysia COVID-19 Pandemic Fund

MERCY Malaysia is an international organization that provides medical relief and humanitarian aid to crisis and non-crisis situations. Their pandemic fund aimed to support medical services and the essential needs of marginalized groups throughout the country. We donated RM1090 to contribute to their important work. 

Everyday Heroes

Everyday for May 2020, we gifted a pair of Nelissa Hilman shoes to our everyday heroes: hospital cleaners, grocers, doctors, nurses, delivery drivers, and social workers for their sacrifices and acts of kindness while everyone was safe at home during the pandemic. We gifted RM3909 worth of shoes to the following people:

International Women's Day 2021

For International Women's Day 2021, Nelissa Hilman collaborated with Petit Moi to create Une Femme Libre, a capsule collection of jumpers and shoes. With every purchase, RM10 was donated to WOMEN:girls, an organization that supports marginalized women and girls by providing support, access to life changing skills, and job opportunities. Our contribution to them aims to fund a mental health program for women and girls with a registered counsellor. To date, we have raised RM2160.
