Victoria Beckham & David Beckham are donating thousands of pounds worth of designer clothes to their local charity shop to raise cash for victims of Typhoon Haiyan. The duo are rarely seen in the same outfit twice and have handed over boxes full of their old clothes and shoes to a British Red Cross shop (69-71 Old Church Street) in Chelsea, west London, to help fund the charity’s work in the Philippines.
The items are on sale today and include hundreds of pairs of Victoria’s shoes, which are UK sizes four and five and many of David’s signature baseball caps.
The designer said ‘Typhoon Haiyan has devastated the Philippines, killing thousands and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. The British Red Cross is now carrying out an enormous humanitarian relief project to help all those people in desperate need. ‘David and I are supporting the Red Cross Shop Drop for the Philippines campaign and we urge everyone in Britain to do the same’.
A Red Cross source said: ‘We asked if they would like to help us raise money for the Typhoon Haiyan survivors and they jumped at the chance. ‘The collection includes dresses, tops, suits and shoes from labels including Dolce and Gabbana, Jimmy Choo and Roberto Cavalli. ‘They’ll all be identified as items from Victoria and David.’
Victoria Beckham earlier tweeted pictures of preparations for the clear out, including dozens and dozens of pairs of shoes.
Don’t forget to stop by the British Red Cross shop in Chelsea, west London to get yourself some of Victoria Beckham items for a bargain price and also in support of victims of the Typhoon Haiyan.
