The American brand has launched a limited edition handbag in support of Breast Health International (BHI), a non-profit organisation supporting breast cancer research and patient resources.

For its seventh annual initiative in support of Breast Health International, Tommy Hilfiger called upon photographer Patrick Demarchelier to shoot a campaign starring supermodels Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer.

The German supermodel said: “I’m very pleased to partner with Tommy, Naomi and Patrick to raise awareness and support for such a wonderful organisation. I hope with this campaign we can increase early awareness for early detection, and help support women and families in need.”

The midsize handbag, made of Italian pebbled leather, includes a large side pocket with magnetic closure, a central interior compartment with a zipper, and a small mobile phone pocket. Naturally, the bag features Tommy Hilfiger’s signature colours: midnight blue and cherry red.

This limited edition piece is available in select Tommy Hilfiger stores worldwide at USD299. For each bag sold, USD100 will be given directly to Fund for Living, a BHI initiative that provides financial assistance to breast cancer patients in need. – AFP RELAXNEWS
