You can enter to win tickets to this event from now to Aug. 1st. In conjunction with the event, Bottega Veneta is offering a special edition bag to benefit the Spring Bud Project. The Intrecciato Nappa Crossbody bag will sell for RMB 20,770 ($3065 USD) and has a special inscription in the mirror sheath with the words “Spring Bud Shanghai 2010”. This bag is limited to only 26 pieces, sold in 11 boutiques in China, as well as one that will be auctioned online at Elle China. The Spring Bud Project provides education, medical care and training to underprivileged young women in China. The entire proceeds will be donated which could be as much as $80,000 USD.
