Scarlett Johansson Designs Mango Handbag for Haiti

Posted on: Feb 2

Many celebrities have donated money to the Haiti earthquake relief efforts, but Scarlett Johansson has gone one better. The face of Mango has teamed up with the fashion label to design a limited edition charity handbag. A percentage of the profits from the bag will benefit Oxfam International.

The simple tote is decorated with the ancient cartography of Haiti. A message across the top of the bag reads "Supporting the people of Haiti. Designed by Scarlett Johansson."

"I'm thrilled to be collaborating with Mango to promote conscious consumerism and to benefit Oxfam's Haiti Earthquake Response Fund," the actress said in a statement. "By purchasing this bag, which I specially designed, you are helping to provide life saving assistance like clean water to the people of Haiti."

We can expect to see the limited edition tote in Mango stores worldwide in March. The design doesn't excite me too much, but I'm always supportive of celebrities using their fame to benefit others. Nothing's as fashionable as being charitable after all!
