Louis Vuitton’s Silver Lockit raises funds for UNICEF

Louis Vuitton Make A promise-

French actresses Léa Seydoux, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Louis Vuitton’s Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière appeared on Patrick Demarchelier‘s photo making a “pinky promise”, a popular way among children to signify that a promise has been sealed by entwining their little fingers. This Louis Vuitton x UNICEF digital campaign aims to raise awareness and encourage as many people as possible to support UNICEF’s projects focused on the most vulnerable children around the world.

Louis Vuitton’s partnership with UNICEF will help support the organization’s efforts to protect children exposed to natural
disasters and conflicts, providing health care, nutrition, and education. “UNICEF is a strong and reliable leader in humanitarian action. Together, we can make a real difference to children in the most vulnerable situations,” said Michael Burke, Chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton.

To raise funds to help children in urgent need, the luxury powerhouse designed a special pendant and bracelet inspired by the
tumbler lock invented by Georges Vuitton in 1890 to protect the contents of trunks. For each sale, $200 will be donated, on your behalf, to UNICEF. People are invited to share their pledge on social networks via the hashtag #MAKEAPROMISE.

“Through this ambitious global partnership, Louis Vuitton encourages everyone to get involved and support UNICEF by making a direct donation or by purchasing the Silver Lockit, and to show and share their commitment on social networks with #MAKEAPROMISE”

“The America’s Cup is the grail of yachting. It sees challengers racing across the oceans for a lifelong quest. The freedom, courage, skill and competence that it requires reflect the trailblazing spirit of Louis Vuitton. We were able to witness here in Portsmouth some amazing racing on Saturday and are thrilled to have successfully launched a new chapter of our shared history.” said Michael Burke, CEO of Louis Vuitton.

The America’s Cup is the oldest trophy in international sport, dating to 1851, when the schooner America, for which the trophy is named, beat the best of the British fleet in a race around the Isle of Wight. The trophy won on that day was donated in trust through a Deed of Gift and has since become an iconic symbol of achievement. The America’s Cup is currently held by the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco. On September 25, 2013, its team, ORACLE TEAM USA, completed the biggest comeback in sports to retain the trophy it had first won in 2010.
