The Children’s Art bags depict what Judith Leiber does the best: combine art and design.

This new project - it includes the production of clutches embellished with with designs that are replicated from kids' drawings - was launched with the aim of fostering childrens' talent. And it's all being done for a good cause;about 15 per cent of the sales proceeds will go to children’s NGO Khushii.

The bags themselves we unveiled at DLF Emporio in New Delhi over the weekend at a party hosted by Sangeeta Assomull, whose Marigold Group brought Judith Leiber to India. Designers JJ Vallaya and Suneet Verma were there, possibly to guide kids who looked hard at work over their paintings.
