The Kianh Foundation has teamed up with ten up-and-coming British designers for a unique charity initiative. Participating artisans include Gemma Johnson, Tamara Fogle, and Charlotte Law of The Modern Fold.
The designers have created one-of-a-kind handbags, which will be auctioned off during London Design Week. Funds raised will help disabled and disadvantaged children in Vietnam’s Hoi An Orphanage.
Each handbag was crafted from a massive canvas painted by the children living at the orphanage. Doesn’t it look like they had fun doing it? The purses were then tizzed up with leather accents and sequined embellishments and metal details to make each one a true original.
Britons can see the bags at the London College of Communication from September 22 to 26. The silent auction will take place throughout the week. If you’re not in the local area you can still bid on the handbags by getting in touch with the organizers via the project’s blog.
