Fancy owning Marine Parade GRC MP Tin Pei Ling’s Kate Spade handbag?
It’s the bag in the photograph which went viral during the General Election in 2011.
The photo showed Ms Tin posing in a cute manner while holding a Kate Spade handbag box.
It drew much attention from netizens and quite a bit of criticism as well.
Well, you stand a chance to own the iconic handbag if you bid in the auction at the Supersonic Big Ball organised by the Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE).
The reserve price for the bag, which is in mint condition, is $500.
Ms Tin explained on the AWARE website why she decided to part with her famous handbag.
“In the course of my work in the community, I have met many women, from single mothers to the elderly, who need help and support. I hope that the proceeds from this bag will help to sustain AWARE’s crisis Helpline, Sexual Assault Befrienders Service, Legal Clinic and counselling services for women. These are laudable efforts to help women in Singapore. This particular bag received much publicity during the last GE (General Election 2011), and I hope to put it to good use. When AWARE approached me and asked to put it up for auction, I saw this as an opportunity to raise funds for a very worthy cause.”
So would you be keen on making a bid for the bag?
