The inspiration to create this charotable endeavour came from  Giannini\u2019s 2009 Malawi trip where she saw \u201cfirst hand the AIDS epidemic  that affects entire generations of families.\u201d Gucci has pledged a  minimum amount of $70,000 of donations for every bag sold. The proceeds  will then be able to provide HIV tests for more than 200 expectant  mothers so as to ensure the safety and well-being of their soon-to-be  born children.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>luxury fashion<\/strong> bag is not only functional but it  is also chic, carrying with it the Gucci trademark of designing  elegantly fabulous pieces. Made from an off-white fabric, the bag also  carries the green-red-green web that is synonymous with Gucci. The  leather trimming gives it a more sophisticated feel despite the bag\u2019s  very simple design. It also has several components that make it highly  functional including the front-zip pocket and two open side pockets. The  bag\u2019s interior also has a zip pocket and three compartments inside a  bigger flat open pocket.<\/p>\n<p>As it will primarily benefit mothers from all over the world, the <strong><a title=\"luxury fashion\" href=\"http:\/\/diamondcake.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">luxury fashion<\/a><\/strong> house has opted to launch it during Mother\u2019s Day. Giannini is on the  Board of Directors of PPR\u2019s Foundation for Women\u2019s Dignity &amp; Rights,  and its support was heralded in this life-changing venture. Celebrities  like Salma Hayek have also signified their support for the campaign.  The special edition Gucci bag will be available at gucci.com for the  limited time of April 28, 2011 to June 15, 2011. For the price of $970,  purchasing this bag guarantees to save a lot of lives as it helps  against the global battle against HIV and AIDS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luxury fashion house Gucci\u2019s Creative Director Frida Giannini launched a limited edition Mother\u2019s Day bag to benefit UNICEF.
