STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- vineyard vines, the lifestyle apparel brand best known for its smiling pink whale logo, is continuing their partnership with Bright Pink, the only non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer. The limited-edition collection includes styles for the whole family and accessories bearing the brand's whale logo paired with the breast cancer awareness Pink Ribbon.
