Versace Art Unite Tote on Gilt Mon. Oct. 19th 09

I wanted to give everyone interested a quick heads up that the Versace Art Unite tote bag will be going on sale this Monday, October 19th at Gilt Groupe. This is the only authorized online venue selling these limited editions bags (also find them now in Versace boutiques). A collaboration between Donatella Versace and the Whitney Museum of American Art's education department, 100% of proceeds from each bag sold will be donated to the Starlight Children's Foundation and the China One Foundation. The images on the bags were also created by children from these causes. From $200 to $250. As an added bonus, everyone who buys one of these bags now through December 1st will also get a VIP 20% discount at Versace boutiques. Update: All of the bags at Gilt seem to be sold out now (fantastic!) but you can sill find them in Versace boutiques.

Update x 2: For those who missed the above online offering of these bags Gilt Groupe will be holding an encore sale this December the 22nd 2009 starting at 12pm EST. For more see here.

Update x 3: Gilt groupe is having these gorgeous bags again at their site this Wed., April 28th 2010. For more click here.
