Giorgio Armani Creates a Christmas Gift of Hope in Aid of UNHCRLegendary Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani is toasting a better future for refugees this festive season with a limited edition mug that he has created to help support the work of the UN refugee agency.
Sporting a sleek design depicting the Mandarin character for "hope," the mug was inspired while the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador was on a trip to the Chinese metropolis of Shanghai.
It is available this month in stores around the United Kingdom and Italy as well as through online vendors, and will soon be available in the United States and Australia.
For every Armani mug sold, part of the income will go towards UNHCR's global work to support more than 20 million refugees and other people of concern.
"UNHCR is extremely grateful that Giorgio Armani and our other steadfast Goodwill Ambassadors are keeping the needs of refugees in mind," said Nick Van Praag, UNHCR's director of external relations.
"UNHCR is almost entirely dependent upon voluntary contributions to provide vital support to millions of refugees under our care, so every donation - such as through the purchase of these beautiful mugs - will help refugees."
