We've all been devastated by images of destroyed lives and rubble in the wake of the Nepal earthquake but here's a heartening gesture from fashion retailer Yumi. 

The designers, who grew up in Nepal, have created the beautiful 'Asha' dress, meaning 'hope' in Nepalese, and Yumi is donating 100% of profits to the Nepal Earthquake Appeal.

So, not only will you have a divine summer party dress, but you'll be raising money for a fantastic cause, too. Well done Yumi

Customers have already provided over 1,000 sleeping bags to the appeal, and Yumi have asked for any additional donations including sleeping bags, tents, blankets, torches and whistles to be donated to any of their stores.
