Levi’s® never cease to surprise me (pleasantly, I point out). This time, they are about to launch an auction on eBay with the profits going towards some worthwhile employee benefits. Check this out:
– Levi Strauss & Co.’s Red Tab Foundation is hosting an exciting auction on eBay to raise money for its important programs and services. The Red Tab Foundation is a nonprofit organization that assists Levi Strauss & Co. employees and retirees who are unable to pay for life’s basic necessities due to unexpected financial emergencies. With the help of generous bidders, the Red Tab Foundation hopes to raise $50,000 for the cause.
The eBay auction will feature nearly 150 special, one-of-a-kind and limited edition Levi’s® products and memorabilia. Some items include:
– Classic Levi’s® 501® jeans and trucker jacket signed by the world-famous Rolling Stones during their 1995 Voodoo Lounge Tour
– Levi’s® trucker jacket signed by the entire cast of the musical dramedy “Glee,” which was featured during the 2009 season
– Gold-embellished pair of 501® men’s jeans designed for 1984 Olympics gold medal winners
-Original silk-screened posters created by acclaimed street artist Shepard Fairey for Levi’s®
I will most definitely follow this auction and I only wish that I could be able to see these amazing clothes personally.
BTW: I think that if I had these rare buckle-back jeans from 1920, I would never ever have the courage to actually wear them – no, not because of the money, but because of what these jeans would really signify for me and every single denim head in this world!
