How to Shop Vintage and Support Animal Rescue Efforts in Lebanon

Did you know you can shop cool vintage finds while supporting animal rescue efforts in Lebanon? Vilyre Gems donates 30% of its proceeds to rescuing strays, so your next vintage find can help a good cause too.

The local vintage boutique has been around since 2017, with a carefully handpicked selection of unique finds. You’ll find quirky pieces and one-of-a-kind vintage gems that you definitely won’t find anywhere else (which is one of the many benefits of shopping vintage).

Arguably the easiest way to add a touch of whimsy to your wardrobe. Here are some cool stuff we found on their page:

We’re kind of obsessed with these genuine leather Mary Janes, photographed next to an adorable kitten we’re hoping comes with the purchase:

And this Elite de newboy Crocodile Satchel that’s in excellent condition? A must-have:

Vilyre Gems also has a highlight on their Instagram page documenting all of their rescue efforts, from the animals they’ve helped to the work that goes into getting them back on their feet. So while you’re browsing for your next vintage find, you can also see exactly where your purchase is making a difference.

It feels like a broken record every time we try to encourage people to thrift or shop vintage (and we’re not here to shame anyone for their purchasing decisions), but there’s something particularly nice about knowing your money can support a cause you care about too.

With Vilyere Gems, you get to find something unique while helping put food, shelter, and care toward animals in need. If you’d like to shop their cool finds, make sure to follow them on Instagram. They also have a dedicated page for everything shoes and bags, which you can check out here.
