Tamara Mellon Stop Tote

Tamara Mellon has taken a short break from her work with Jimmy Choo to do something good. The creative director of the world’s most famous footwear brand designed this hand-printed Stop bag to help end child sex trafficking.

This cute tote doesn’t feature just any hand prints. They’re actually the paws of some famous stars who also support the cause, including Aussie actress Nicole Kidman, British comedienne Joanna Lumley, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, and DJ extraordinaire Mark Ronson.

The tote bag is available from The Body Shop stores for an affordable £4. And best of all, all that money goes straight to the non-profit group ECPAT International’s Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People campaign. Mellon, who has been a long-time supporter of the charity, said she was “thrilled” to work with The Body Shop in raising awareness of the program.

I feel very strongly about prohibiting sex trafficking and knowing that the profits will help to end this modern day slavery and safeguard children makes the project even more worthwhile,” she explained.

The tote doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but its eye catching appearance should make it a great conversation piece. And that’s exactly what you want in a bag supporting such a worthwhile cause!
