**Cancer Research UK and online lifestyle magazine handbag.com are holding a Handbag
Amnesty throughout September to offer women the chance to bid for a celebrity designer
handbag and raise funds for the charity.**

Cancer Research UK and [handbag.com](http://www.handbag.com) are asking celebrities
to donate a designer handbags to the campaign. They will then be auctioned on Cancer
Research UK’s eBay presence in October to tie in with breast cancer awareness month.

The campaign also encourages members of the public to donate a handbag that is still
in good condition to their local Cancer Research UK shop.
