Gucci Heiress’s Brand Sells $2,800 ‘Unity Bag’ to Benefit Melania Trump’s Foster Youth Initiative

The effort follows a November executive order to expand pathways for youth who experienced foster care.

Overview

  • A.G.C.F., founded by Alexandra Gucci Zarini, is offering a limited-edition Unity Bag with 20% of proceeds pledged to Fostering the Future.
  • Melania Trump thanked Zarini on X, saying the support helps foster youth gain college access that can lead to job security and financial independence.
  • Fostering the Future launched in 2021, and a Nov. 13 executive order seeks to align federal resources with private partners to improve outcomes for former foster youth.
  • Zarini described the project as mission-driven and praised the first lady’s focus on children who are often overlooked.
  • The first lady’s office did not immediately provide details on the purse proceeds, as coverage notes broader private-sector interest including a recent pledge reported from Michael and Susan Dell.
