This delicious chocolate brown Sukey tote bag is the latest Gucci for UNICEF creation.
Gucci has supported UNICEF’s Schools for Africa project for the last seven years through the creation of limited edition handbags such as this. A percentage of handbag sales helps UNICEF provide quality education for African children in need. Since 2005, Gucci has donated more than $9 million to the project, more than any other corporate donor.
Honestly I think this Sukey handbag is one of the initiative’s best. It features the diamante motif which originated in 1935 embossed over lush brown calfskin. The hand waxing treatment makes this Sukey feel very vintage, and the delicate hardware is conservatively classic. The choice of rolled handles and longer detachable shoulder strap makes this limited edition Sukey tote as functional as it is fashionable. I don’t ordinarily warm to brown bags, but the treatment of this Sukey has me swooning. Has it won you over?
Gucci hasn’t announced how much it’ll sell this Sukey for, but we do know that a quarter of the price will benefit UNICEF. That should make it a bit easier to part with your cash when it hits Gucci stores on June 15. It’ll be available until February 28 next year, or until stocks last.
