# Charity Designer Handbags The Gucci UNICEF Collection 2009 Is a Gift that Keeps on Giving By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-11-18 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-unicef-collection-2009 References: [cakeheadlovesevil](http://cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/gucci-unicef-collection/) & [ifitshipitshere.blogspot](http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/11/guccis-2009-collection-to-benefit.html) I never knew that [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-pet-collection) and UNICEF were such good friends. But it seems that each year the epic handbag maker creates a variety of goods inspired by different themes each year. This year, the Gucci UNICEF Collection 2009 is based on the book *Snowman in Africa*. This collection of [handbags, keychains and coin purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bag-charm) all incorporate the novel-esque theme of both snowmen and jungles. As well, 100% of the retail price of the book sold in Gucci stores will be donated directly to UNICEF. The Gucci UNICEF Collection 2009 is definitely a good thing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Designer Charity Collaborations:** Opportunity for fashion brands to partner with charitable organizations to create limited-edition collections that support a cause. - **Themed Product Collections:** Creating product lines inspired by specific themes allows brands to capture consumer interest and differentiate themselves in the market. - **Social Responsibility in Luxury Fashion:** Increasing focus on corporate social responsibility in the luxury fashion industry as brands align with charitable organizations and donate proceeds to worthy causes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore partnerships with charitable organizations to create limited-edition collections and raise funds for worthy causes. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can prioritize corporate social responsibility by collaborating with charities and donating proceeds from themed collections. - **Publishing:** Publishing industry can explore opportunities to partner with fashion brands to create books that inspire themed product collections with a social impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pet-Focused Luxury Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-pet-collection.md) - [Animal-Free Material Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-horsebit-1955-bag.md) - [Special Edition Cinematic Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebecca-minkoff-x-wicked.md) - [New Year-Themed Luxury Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-tiger.md) - [Bamboo-Focused Luxury Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decoding-an-icon.md) - [Eco-Friendly Fashion Luggage Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-off-the-grid-collection.md) - [Cartoon-Adorned Parenting Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jujube.md) - [Charitable NFT Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonprofit-nft.md) - [Designer-Headed Vintage Auctions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/margherita-maccapani-missoni.md)
