Limited-Edition Leather Tote to Raise Money for Leading Educational Organization

DHL and Zac Posen, the New York-based fashion designer, have joined forces to raise money and awareness for TeachersCount, a national non-profit that supports the teaching profession. The centerpiece of the exclusive global partnership is the “Tote for Teachers” campaign.

For the initiative, Zac Posen has designed a limited-edition leather tote bag, with DHL underwriting the production of the Italian-made accessory. Zac and DHL kick off the campaign this week in New York City, unveiling the bag with a launch party during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, an event DHL sponsors and at which Zac stages his ready-to-wear runway shows.

For each bag sold, DHL will donate 100 pct of the proceeds to TeachersCount, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, as well as provide complimentary DHL ground delivery for each purchase. Priced at USD 400, the bag will be sold exclusively online at www.toteforteachers.org.

The Tote for Teachers campaign will also include a print public service announcement (PSA) featuring Zac and Jane Avrich, his high school English Literature teacher. The PSA is the latest in TeachersCount’s “Behind Every Famous Person is a Fabulous Teacher” series.
