You can also invite others to join in on the deals and designate a non-profit organization to receive 5% of the amount that you and your family spend.

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!

“With this new collection, named in honor of Gap’s debut year, we completely reworked and redesigned the jeans at every level, from design and fit to fabric, fasteners and production,” said Gap’s EVP of Design, Patrick Robinson. “Our goal was to create a range of styles that were cool, sexy and relevant for right now.”

I was intrigued to see the jeans for myself and sample them for size and shape. I suggest you to try on a couple of sizes before purchasing. The sizes run a little big, and I had to go down a size. I was really impressed with how well they fit and I loved the perfect hues for Fall. The styles range from boyfriend to long and lean cuts. My favorite is the Almost Skinny Jeans in the most-flattering dark wash. For a limited time, get $20 off a pair of 1969 jeans. With affordable prices like these, you will want to refresh your closet with these jeans. Check out the entire collection at your local Gap store or at Gap.com.

Once I realized that none of the stores in Wisconsin were receiving shipments for the limited edition, I jumped online to Gap where I found the entire collection available. I selected my items and completed my order. Or so I thought. I didn’t receive a order confirmation email from Gap, so I contacted their customer service for assistance. To my disappointment, my order was never processed, possibly due to the extreme traffic on the site the day of the launch. When I checked back on the site, my favorite item from the line, the cream colored moto jacket designed by Wang, was no longer available.  My only hope now is find the jacket listed on eBay for under $200! 

Were you one of the lucky ones who scored your fav items from the current Gap Design Editions, or are you shopping on eBay to find the sold-out items? Send me your thoughts, are you disappointed that Gap didn’t include your store on their distribution list?
