This year's Handbag Amnesty - a huge success
Cancer Research UK joined up with handbag.com in September and October to bring you the first ever Handbag Amnesty.
The campaign was a great success, raising over £210,000 in donated items and cash to help beat breast cancer.
During September and October people across the country took part in the Handbag Amnesty and donated over 13,000 handbags to their local Cancer Research UK shops.
Together with other donated items, these handbags helped raise over £200,000
for our vital research.
Celebrities lend their support too
Cancer Research UK and handbag.com asked celebrities to make space in their wardrobes by donating one of their designer handbags to the Handbag Amnesty.
The bags were auctioned on eBay from Friday 3 - Tuesday 14 October to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Our biggest sellers included:
