Fiorelli has generously donated a one-of-a-kind handbag to an Oxfam charity store in the British seaside town of Whitby. The store on New Quay Road will auction off the unique purse to help provide food and water for African communities in need.
The donation has come at an important time for the store, who was forced to rebuild its funds after thieves robbed the premises earlier this year. Raffle tickets sold for the auction have already recouped the money lost.
But it’s no wonder that this one-of-a-kind purse is proving so popular. It’s made of a mix of leather and faux fur, and embedded with diamante crystals for an extra shot of glamour.
Margaret Humberstone, the manager of the Oxfam store, said that her employees were “stunned” when they saw Fiorelli’s donation, especially when they realized its rarity.
“It was really generous of them,” she said.
The Fiorelli purse auction is running concurrently with another auction which contains a variety of general interest items. These including memorabilia from popular British soap operas Coronation Street, Emmerdale, and EastEnders, a hamper from discount supermarket chain Lidl, and a giant Toblerone chocolate bar.
Tickets for both raffles can be purchased from the Oxfam street store on Whitby’s New Quay Road until the draw on October 29. They cost £5 per strip for the Fiorelli handbag raffle and £1 per strip for the regular draw.
