Totes for Teachers: Zac Posen & DHL Launch a New Bag
"I designed this bag to be fun, feminine, easily accessible and a little sporty. The bag’s vibrant red and yellow colors were inspired by the signature colors of my partner, DHL, a company that travels the world transporting so many valuable shipments. My hope is that fashionable and civic-minded ladies will carry the bag in acknowledgement of the very special teachers in their lives." – Zac Posen


This is an interesting collaboration. DHL, the world’s leading global express delivery company, and Zac Posen, the New York-based fashion designer, have joined forces to raise money and awareness for TeachersCount, a national non-profit organization in the "Tote for Teachers" campaign.


The ZP-DHL Tote is made in Italian leather with DHL’s signature red and yellow colors. Each of these envelope-style totes will retail for $400 with 100% of the proceeds going to the non-profit organization. Yeah that’s right 100%! The bags also come with complimentary DHL ground delivery.


Teachers or supporters, get your bags at toteforteachers.org

I like the idea of this since I am going to be a teacher, but I think $400 is too much, even if the proceeds are going to this organization. It's not fancy enough to cost that much!

yah no way. 400 is a bit too pricie for this bag.

Yea i think he could have done a way better job.....not impressive for being zac posen.....

This makes me laugh - what teacher can afford a $400 bag? AND WAyyyyyy too small for teachers - we need room for books, marking, etc. I guess it's not FOR teachers - the proceeds are for teachers but c'mon - put a little more into into it - boring doesn't raise much $$$
