Time to clean out your closets! Bring your worn denim – jeans, shorts, jackets or skirts - to the nearest Gap store and receive 30% off of new denim purchases for spring! The cotton in your jeans will be recycled into UltraTouch Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation, which will be used to assist the building of homes for communities in need.

The humanitarian efforts are in partnership with the Habitat for Humanity and Cotton Incorporated’s cottonfrombluetogreen.org. The Cotton From Blue to Green denim drive began in 2006 as a marketing initiative to educate college students about the renewable and recyclable benefits of denim.  In the first year, over 14,000 denim pieces were donated nationwide, and were used to help build 30 homes for displaced families of Hurricane Katrina. What a great way to recycle and reuse your denim blues! The offer ends on March 14, so hurry to a Gap store today!

Get ready for the exciting debut of Jean Paul Gaultier at Target! Sunday morning will be bright and early for those savvy shoppers who will visit Target.com. Check out the French designer’s muses, from the rock n’ roll chick to the glamour queen, and add new pieces to your closet for spring. Must-haves such as the khaki trench coat, floral dresses and nautical-inspired tees will sell out fast, so set the alarm ladies!
