 Naomi Campbell: Donates 'it' bag to fight death in pregnancy
On Tuesday supermodel Naomi Campbell offered a Hermes "it" bag for helping raise funds to fight deaths in pregnancy, which hit over half a million women every year.
Sources have thrown light on this news of Naomi Campbell. According to them, the iconic model handed over a pale green alligator Hermes "Birkin" bag to French auctioneers Artcurial who will put it up for sale November 10, with proceeds going to the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood.
The international charity, who launched in 1999, worked to increase public awareness about the loss of life from pregnancy-related complications and to promote safe motherhood worldwide.
The bag, touted by a host of celebrities worldwide, was named after British-born singer and actress Jane Birkin, who sold her own in 2007 for 74,000 euros (108,000 dollars) donated to a human rights group -- an all time record for a leather handbag.
The Birkin is one of the French luxury baggage-maker's star products, who was seen hanging on celebrity arms and is a constant theme on television.
A Birkin featured in the final session of The Sopranos and is said to have been the bag of choice for Ruth Madoff, the wife of embarrassed Wall Street financier Bernard Madoff.
