Handbags owned by some of the world’s most fashionable stars will be auctioned off next week as part of Handbag Heaven. This charity initiative hopes to raise more than £60, 000 for the Women’s Fund for Scotland, a charity which helps disadvantaged Scottish women and girls realize their dreams.
Amongst the coveted celebrity handbags are a Tous purse autographed by Aussie pop singer Kylie Minogue, a Coccinelle bag autographed by local singer Annie Lennox, one of Kate Moss’ own Longchamp bags, and a beaded bag donated by Sienna Miller.
“All money raised will go out in grants, from as little as £250 up to £5,000,” explained event organizer Beth Edberg.
If you’re in Edinburgh on Monday September 27, you can score a ticket for the event from just £35 by contacting the Women’s Fund for Scotland. That should make it a little easier to spend up on these celebrity handbags once you’re there! And if you’re not able to make the event, you can still donate an amount of your choice through the event’s online website.
