Kate Spade is doing her bit for the Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief efforts with the upcoming release of this limited edition Japan Tote Bag.
The simply styled tote features Kate Spade’s signature black spade graphic alongside a pink love heart and Japan’s iconic red rising sun. The message is unmistakable; just like the rest of the world right now, Kate Spade loves Japan. And even though it’s just a printed image on a fairly bland natural colored tote bag, I’ve definitely succumbed to this charity bag’s charms. The design is very cute, and fashion always feels a bit better when it’s for a good cause, doesn’t it?
Given its limited edition nature, Kate Spade probably could have charged a pretty penny for this charity tote. Thankfully she’s instead chosen a more reasonable price point. These basic totes are available for just $18. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Japanese Red Cross and its relief efforts.
The limited edition Japan Tote Bag will be available for pre-order soon from the Kate Spade website. She’s told her Twitter followers that they’ll be the first to know about its release, so I suggest subscribing to her feed if you want one!
