On Sale Now: eBay & CFDA: "You Can't Fake Fashion" Custom Designed Canvas Totes
To quote ourselves (see number 6), the canvas tote bag has replaced the leather carryall as the must-have summer handbag. Lightweight and affordable, it enables the wearer to remain (or at least look) beach-ready, even while trudging to work through hot city streets.
Now imagine a one-of-a-kind canvas cutie customized by one of your favorite names in fashion—say, Calvin Klein, Marchesa, Jason Wu or Diane Von Furstenberg. Then make the proceeds from its sale benefit the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Would you pay $150 for that? We sure would.
And now we can.

This morning, eBay and CFDA, launched YOU CAN’T FAKE FASHION, a new campaign to raise awareness against counterfeit goods and celebrate original design. To launch the campaign, eBay and CFDA (not to mention 50 of its hottest designers) collaborated to produce a collection of original canvas tote bags bearing the tagline YOU CAN’T FAKE FASHION to spark conversation around this hot issue.
