Celebrity Handbag Auction for Charity
According to Entertainment Tonight, celebs auctioned off their handbags this past week to raise money for the aftermath of the earthquake that occurred in Italy in April.
But this isn’t an ordinary celebrity clothing auction. First off, on the level of pure handbag fanaticism, designer Salvatore Ferragamo has donated some of his handbag designs to the auction. Ferragamo, whose man bags scream high-end style for all occasions, also signed his creations that were donated to the auction.
The high point of the event, in fact, isn’t Ferragamo’s bags but, instead, the signed and kissed – yes, kissed – handbags from celebrities on the A- and B-lists. Celebrities ranging from Jennifer Aniston, Marisa Tomei, Demi Moore, Madonna, and Kelly Clarkson to Jonathan Rhys Meyers (remember Velvet Goldmine?) donated their handbags and signed them – or signed and kissed them – for the auction. The auction, titled Stars for a Cause, itself was held June 9th, 7 p.m, in Los Angeles.
The event, however, wasn’t just for handbags. Celebrities donated some of their clothes for the auction, and this included a pair of shoes by Twilight actor Taylor Lautner, according to LimeLyfe. Aside from the fact Lautner had about three lines in the entire movie, you can be sure some lucky Twilight fan picked up those shoes and now has them enshrined in her (or his) bedroom.
As far as the handbags are concerned, no specific designers were listed for the event, aside from the donated Ferragamo handbags, although you can safely assume these were no knock-offs. So, designer handbags signed by celebrities and even auctioned for a cause? Can a handbag get so all-around perfect?
