Ties and scarves for solidarity
For the second year in a row, the HEC Foundation is teaming up with French Coconut to give students in its graduating class and, new this year, HEC Alumni, the opportunity to take part in an initiative to show solidarity and help finance your School's projects.
Together with the HEC Foundation, French Coconut is offering HEC Paris graduates the opportunity to purchase a tie or silk scarf designed especially for them, with the school logo discreetly displayed (along with the graduation year if desired).
French Coconut is a young company founded by Guillaume Vught (H.19) that offers beautifully crafted ties and other silk items, handmade in Paris by talented Parisian tiemakers. The silks are meticulously selected in Italy and no detail is left to chance by this company that values excellent craftsmanship and offers products made 100% in France.
For every tie or silk scarf sold, French Coconut will donate €10 to the HEC Foundation, which will be used to support the School's projects.
