Gucci for UNICEF Sukey Bag

How times flies. Gucci, as part of its partnership with UNICEF–now entering its sixth year–has launched a year-long special edition “Gucci for UNICEF” Sukey bag in grey La Pelle Guccissima, with 25 percent of the retail price benefiting UNICEF’s “Schools for Africa” campaign. Where did the name come from, you ask? Last February, Gucci, at its UNICEF fundraising event in New York, auctioned off a “Gucci Experience, Milan” package whereby the winner had the opportunity to name a Gucci bag. Thus a best-selling bag was born! Personally, I really love the color–a nice grey leather bag complements nearly every color outfit out there, creating a nice contrast. This particular bag makes a nice transition from day into night and features plenty of roomy inside pockets to stay organized. On the outside, a key ring featuring Gucci’s iconic retro GG logo is affixed to one end. At the end of the day, though, you can’t go wrong with a chic bag that benefits charity. “It seemed fitting to dedicate a special edition Sukey bag to our ongoing efforts for UNICEF’s Schools for Africa program since it was christened at our UNICEF fundraising event in 2008,” said creative director Frida Giannini.

$1,295, available at Gucci stores and www.gucci.com through February 28, 2011
