The Perfect Provenance Previews New Smile Collection Announcement

The Perfect Provenance Previews New 
Smile Collection to Benefit 
Operation Smile at NYC Smile Gala

Greenwich, CT -- May 18, 2015 – The Perfect Provenance, a new art inspired retail concept store and café, that will launch this fall in Greenwich, CT, previewed a special collection of products – The Smile Collection --  to benefit Operation Smile at their 13^th annual Smile Gala in New York City on May 14th.   The Operation Smile NYC Gala was hosted by actress Kate Walsh, who spoke passionately about volunteering on a recent medical mission, and also featured special guest Eli Manning. 

Lisa Lori, founder of The Perfect Provenance and Operation Smile Founders Circle member, previewed two products – 100 percent organic cotton tee shirts and custom designed Belgian Linen Tote Bags – during the event with her son Luke Lori, who designed the artwork for the collection.    They are now available for sale at www.theperfectprovenance.com; women’s and men’s tees retail for $45 each; children $40 and tote bags for $260 & $265.

During the event’s Smile Auction, each attendee who pledged a smile or made a donation received one of the new tees, and the hosts as well as the evening’s honorees, each received a Smile Collection Tote Bag with a pair of tees.   20 percent of the profit of the sale of each of these items will benefit Operation Smile. 

The Smile Collection is inspired by Lisa’s three children --Zack, Luke & Griffin. When they were born they couldn’t smile due to a rare medical condition called facial paralysis. They each had life changing surgeries that gave them beautiful smiles. Inspired by the three brothers, The Perfect Provenance Smile Collection is dedicated to helping children around the world smile.   Giving back will be an integral part of The Perfect Provenance’s mission, and the company hopes to shine a light on many worthwhile organizations through philanthropic partnerships.
