(pictured above) Top Pick - The Hot Tote: The cult favorite Marimekko® has teamed up with AVON this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the Crusade Tote, $10. Done in Marimekko's classic Unikko print each bright bag gives 100% of net profits to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. The buzz about this tote has been unreal with everyone and their mum clamoring for one... Marimekko for $10? Unheard of and this bright funky Unikko floral print really pops and looks luxe. I love using totes like these in place of gift wrap and paper gift bags... just add tissue paper and give.
