To commemorate the recent opening of Gucci’s Paragon flagship store, the Singapore Tourism Board and the Singapore Botanic Gardens recently named an orchid after the brand’s creative director, Frida Paravanda. As a token of her appreciation, Gucci has released the Paravanda Collection, a handbag range featuring the beautiful orchid.
The proceeds from this limited-edition line will benefit Mainly I Love Kids, a charity which helps disadvantaged children and teens in Singapore and further abroad. It’s refreshing to see Gucci making the commitment to donate all profits, rather than pocketing a portion as so many fashion houses do!
The collection includes two classic Boston bags, a wristlet, and a cotton T-shirt. Each features the Paravanda Frida orchid motif, while the bags also have unique serial numbers embossed inside to prove their authenticity.
The pretty floral Paravanda collection will be available exclusively in Singapore in March. I think these bags are so gorgeous I’m tempted to take an Asian getaway!
