We’ve been leading up to it for months, and today Americans everywhere are heading to the polls to elect their next president. If our favorite handbag designers get their way, it looks like the man for the job will be Barack Obama.
Some of fashion’s biggest names have united to create the Runway for Change line, a collection of gorgeous handbags supporting the charismatic Democratic presidential candidate.
Rag & Bone’s tote bag is cooly casual, with its natural slouchy fabric and bold “Change is Awesome” stamped motif. Derek Lam’s flower tote features blooms in patriotic red, white, and blue. Its feminine script, reading “A Fresh Start. Obama ’08,” completes the elegant look. Diane von Furstenberg has also embraced her feminine side for the Obama ’08 Love tote. Its black scrawled hearts and text embody the hope and change Barack Obama stands for. For a no-nonsense look, consider Isaac Mizrahi’s Stand for Change tote. This structured bag features the Obama logo and sturdy brown leather handles.
Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, and Zac Posen have also contributed to this politically charged fashion collection. Runway for Change designer tote bags and more are available through the Barack Obama online store.
