Marc Allen to Host Child & Family Holiday Shopping Event

Local Clothier to Donate 25 Percent of Proceeds to Child & Family of Newport

Marc Allen Fine Clothiers, located at 142 Bellevue Avenue, will host a holiday shopping event to benefit local non-profit, Child and Family. The shop, which opened its doors for business in April, has quickly become the top shop for exclusive luxury brands and custom-made men’s clothes in Newport.

From November 17-21, 25 percent from every sale will be donated to Child and Family as part of the shop’s ongoing commitment to the community. “Child and Family is very near and dear to my heart,” said Marc Streisand, owner, Marc Allen Fine Clothiers. “As the father of two children, I have a keen interest in trying to make a difference in the lives of local kids, especially those who are underserved.”

Streisand was also co-chair of Au Courant this summer, an annual fashion event to benefit Child and Family. The event promotes the creative talents of the finest designers in the Northeast through a runway show, cocktail party and designer shopping event.
