Auction Thread for the Styleforum 2013 Holiday Charity Drive for the Ronald McDonald House

[dibadiba]



Ok. Sh*t is about to get very real. The next auction is a customized T-Briefcase from Neo Noveau, handmade by Andrew Diba, in your choice of goat or calf.
This is a very special bag, with a retail price of over $2500. Many thanks to Andrew for his generosity in making this piece available for the charity auction. Remember, all proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House.

Bidding will be open until tomorrow at noon ET, or until there have been ten minutes without a bid, whichever comes last. I will start things off with a bid of $1k. Let's do this.

Cheers, Fok.

To those unfamiliar with my work, I'll share about more info about this particular bag. As Fok mentioned, the winner will have their choice of calf or goat. I use the finest French boxcalf and a variety of vegetable-tanned goatskins in a range of colours. Additionally, the interior will be fully leather lined in goat or lamb and we will be able to come up with an interior organizer to suit your needs...and as always, completely saddle-stitched by hand.

BTW Fok is on limited computer time so it's me, David, handling the auction. Fok is @LA Guy even though he doesn't live in LA and we have only his word that he is a guy.

Yup, David (@unbelragazzo ) is in charge this year.

Bid this thing up. You'll get an awesome bag, and help a great cause as well.

Cheers,

Fok.

I have now successfuly refrained from being snarky and confusing in a way that might cause Fok to put me in time out.

Don't worry, I think I'll be able to fill in for you. #Tbag

let's bid this thing up from the current $1K bid. This is a customized briefcase - something that only comes around very occasionally.

btw, we are now sitting (and including @SpooPoker 's generous donation, at $9882 right now. Let's move this well past $10K, and then shoot for $15K. We have a bunch of more auctions to go before Christmas, and hopefully a few between Christmas and New Year.


Cheers,

Fok.

You rock!
Potential bidders, check out this album to see how one of these (well, an alligator version) is made.
A range of thread colours, edge colours, and lovely options to customize. Truly an heirloom piece that you can pass down decades from now.

$1200 is pretty boss, but let's see if we can't get to mega-boss. I'm talking gold teeth, grey goose, Cristal, Maybach, jet planes, tigers on a gold leash, boss.

Seriously. If this goes over $1500, the winner will receive a photo of me shirtless with the briefcase on my head. I will be wearing Clark's desert boots.

Okay. I'll go on the record as saying that Styleforum will match all dollars about $1499 to make sure that this does not appear of the forum, at any time, ever.
