Unicef, on the other hand, is very much is a charity. But that doesn't mean that its products are irredeemably dreary. This year it has partnered with no less a style behemoth than Gucci. So if you know someone who's in the market for a $4600 white python bag with a tattoo heart graphic, gold hardware and a leather trim, or $740 4-inch wedge slingback shoes with a similar motif, then you're in luck. Gucci will donate 25% of sales from its tattoo heart collection to Unicef. For the rest of us, there's very cute little $15 leather elephant bank in the catalog to encourage saving.
