FEED 2 Kenya Bag Exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman

Just when you thought Lauren Bush is finished with her FEED Projects bags she is slated to release an exclusive FEED 2 Kenya bag this week at Bergdorf Goodman. According to WWD, the bag is made of local Masai fabric and hand beadwork, costs $195 and is made by Kenyan artisans. The bags each take a day and a half to bead, by women and students from a school for the deaf. One hundred dollars from the sale of each bag will go to feed two Kenyan children in school for a year.

“As a designer, Kenya is really inspirational,” said Bush, who has visited twice. “We’re trying to highlight the traditional Kenyan culture.”

Do you like the new bag or the old?

    Can someone please explain to me why these bags are so insanely expensive? $100 goes to Kenyan children, Bush gets almost 50% of the profit, even when the Kenyans are doing all the intricate beading and providing the fabric. I, for one would be ashamed to carry this bag around.

    very much agreed T. I was just about to post a comment mentioning the fact that I was just in Africa a couple months back and this is pure robbery this bag in kenya i can GURANTEE you would sell for $8 US no lie…. so for them to give just $100 out of $195 is ri-damn-diculous…all this woman is doing is trying to make money off of a sad tale of the “Deaf and disadvantaged” african village….i say ban against her little coalition untill ALL profits go to the school as if another rich bitch needs to do them any kind of favors— she can have all that!!

    Wow, you think it’s too much to feed 2 children in Kenya. I don’t care if the bag was $500. It’s not too much. I got mine Saturday. Ofourse Bush is making profit. Hello! Everything is a business, but at the end of the day we are helping. If you don’t like that someone else is making a profit then find another way to donate.
