Legendary luxury handbag and accessories designer Carlos Falchi is participating in the 7th annual “Art & Sole Celebrity Auction” to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.   Mr. Falchi will be lending his support by designing a custom pair of UGG boots in his graffiti style to be auctioned for St. Jude’s.  With over $200,000 dollars raised to date, the nationwide program uses the artistic collaborative skills of both celebrities and designers, creating one-of-a-kind pairs of UGG Australia signature boots. Carlos will be lending his support to St. Jude’s along with other celebrity designers including: Manolo Blahnik, Betsey Johnson, Christian Siriano and Stewart Weitzman.

The online event, from December 1st through 14th, prides itself on the unique partnerships formed, reflecting the artists’ personalities and dedication to the charity. With 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the boots will be auctioned off to support the hard work and dedication to patients, families and hospital staff alike.

Carlos Falchi is notorious for his unique exotic skin and fine leather handbags and accessories. For over thirty years he has led the industry in innovative design and unparalleled product quality; in 1980 Women’s Wear Daily declared his Buffalo Satchel, “the most copied bag in the industry.”  Mr. Falchi focuses his attention on the lining and compartments to make each handbag beautiful as well as functional, from the inside out.   His new collaboration, the Graffiti Collection, consists of tiger snake handbags hand painted with graffiti designs.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

Founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tennessee, St.
Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fundraising organization.
