Eastpak Artist Studio teams up with some of the worlds most interesting designers and artists to customize special-edition backpacks. The really cool part? All proceeds benefit Designers Against AIDS.
The timing couldnt be better, since December 1 is World AIDS Day.
Participating designers include Cana-das own (although now based in NYC) Christopher Lee Sauve, as well as Manolo Blahnik, MSGM, Walter Van Beirendonck, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lala Berlin, Scooter LaForge and more. Maybe were biased in favour of the home team, but Sauves punk-meets-pop-art creation rings in as our favourite.
The auction for these one-of-a-kind bags opens at noon on December 1 and closes at midnight, December 21, at artistsstudio.eastpak.com. These backpacks arent likely to go cheap, but, hey, theyre for a good cause.
