MADONNA - MADONNA'S CHILDREN DESIGN HANDBAGS FOR CHARITY

MADONNA's children ROCCO and LOURDES have decorated handbags for fashion house Celine that will be auctioned off for charity next month (MAY06). The fashion company asked 19 celebrity offspring including the children of EMMANUELLE BEART and AUDREY MARNAY, to customise its canvas Poulbot bag. The proceeds from the sale will go to actress/singer VANESSA PARADIS' charity Reves, which helps sick children realise their dreams. Paradis' children with actor JOHNNY DEPP, JACK and LILY-ROSE, have also designed bags for the cause. The French fashion house sent the necessary design tools, from felt-tip pens to feathers to the children to help with their projects. Madonna's daughter nine-year-old daughter Lourdes covered her bag with red lips, while her five-year-old son Rocco sketched colourful drawings of small animals on his bag. The bags will be auctioned off at a dinner at the Hotel Bristol in Paris, France, on 30 May (06).
