Giving Back
Monthly Raffles
We are proud to donate a proceeds of every purchase to great and deserving causes each month. It is thanks to your support that we are able to do this! We have started gathering donations in a raffle format: a proceed of each purchase is added to the donation pool, as well as individual donations made by you! At the end of the month, we will pick a winner from the raffle to win a pair of earrings / gift card / etc.
In order to enter the raffle you can:
- make a purchase at OBD
- add a donation while you checkout (this will enter you twice, once for the purchase and once for the extra donation)
- send a donation to @opheliabydesign on Venmo
- message or email me for other ways to donate!

Allies In Arts
"Allies in Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to support artists who are womxn, BIPOC, and LGBTQQIA2S — all of whom are underrepresented individuals in creative industries.
Artists from our communities face barriers as a direct result of race, gender, sex, and sexual orientation. We seek to break down those barriers by awarding grants, curating exhibitions and screenings, and connecting artists with the decision-makers who can hire them." - Allies in Arts homepage
