At the end of last month, the New York Junior League (NYJL) began a new tradition in its 108 years of service to New York City by hosting its first annual Babes, Bags and Bubbles Handbag Auction.
This wonderful event, sponsored by W Magazine, Domaine Carnaros by Tattinger and Bobo Restaurant, benefits the Women’s Cancer Prevention Program and other programs supported by the NYJL.
This signature event auctioned new, celebrity owned and gently worn designer handbags to stylish guests. Shopping for a cause is “the new black” especially when shopping for the “it” bag! |
 |
They had 100 bags for auction from designers including Balenciaga, Botkier, Christian Dior, Coach, Gucci, Juicy Couture, Kate Spade, Lauren Merkin, Louis Vuitton, Lilly Pulitzer, Marc Jacobs, Prada, Tory Burch, Versace, Yves St. Laurent and many more.
Personal donations were also made by Anne Archer, Carly Simon, Christina Applegate, Delia Wolf, Jacqueline Bisset, Meg Ryan, Diane English, Marc Jacobs, Morgan Pressel, Tinsley Mortimer, and Serena Williams. |
