Gucci Unveils Mother’s Day Bag

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and why not get mom something different this year than last, and think outside the box?  Gucci creative director Frida Giannini created a special bag for Mother’s Day — and for a good cause.  The limited edition bag, available at Gucci.com through June 15, benefits UNICEF programs to stop HIV infections among newborns, and retails for $970 with 25 percent going to the cause. “My inspiration for this special edition bag came from my trip to Malawi with UNICEF in November 2009, when I witnessed first hand the AIDS epidemic that affects entire generations of families,” Giannini said.

The bag is said to be easy, simple and efficient: a beautiful bag with a real social impact.  What’s not to love about that?
