The house of Versace has long blended art and fashion for flawless results. Now, with a new charitable project spearheaded by Donatella Versace, that pairing has an added benefit. The iconic designer joined with the Starlight Foundation and the Whitney Museum of American Art this year to launch Art Unites, a collaboration that donated canvases, paint and art supplies to sick children around the world.
The finished drawings, each with a friendship theme, were then printed on Versace tote bags. Proceeds from sales of the bags go directly to the Starlight Foundation as well as to the One Foundation, which benefits young victims of the 2008 earthquake in China.
Versace believes that creativity and artistic expression aid in the healing process. To encourage sales of these charitable totes, the designer is offering an extra initiative: Anyone who buys one of these special bags between now and December 1 will receive a VIP discount of 20% at all Versace boutiques in the U.S. Thanks to Versace, shopping has never been so rewarding.
The totes are available exclusively online at Gilt,
