Cartier, one of the fashion industry’s most respected designers, has decided to share his success (and wealth) in order to benefit a number of different charities. Cartier recently released a hot new bracelet called the Cartier Love Charity Bracelet, an extension of the original Love Bracelet from the 1960’s. This incredibly unique idea has become extremely popular with a number of celebrities all over the world.

Basically, Cartier has designed a very simple, elegant and trendy bracelet design. The designs were originally popular in 1969 and have become even more popular since their recent re-release. Each design is sold in selected boutiques around the world for approximately $450. Cartier will donate $100 from each bracelet sold to the charity of the corresponding color rope.

Here’s a list of the colors, which charity they represent and a celebrity supporter for each charity:

Red – Youth AIDS (Rosario Dawson)

White – The Salma Hayek Foundation (Salma Hayek)

Baby Pink – USA Harvest (Scarlett Johansson)

Green – Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust (Edward Norton)

Blue – UNICEF – Sarah Jessica Parker

Purple – Kanbar Institute of Film and Television (Spike Lee)

Black – Mercy Corps/Gulf Coast Recovery (Michael Stipe)

Deep Pink – The *** Cancer Research Foundation (Liv Tyler)

If you’re looking for a stylish and rewarding way to give back to the world, a Cartier Love Charity Bracelet may be the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

The only problem with the Bracelets is…..

Okay, so I’m all for celebrities and their attempt to “give back” to the world but what’s the deal with some of these charities? I mean, some of them are great and I would be more than willing to contribute my hard earned money for the causes but some of them seem somewhat ridiculous.

Seriously, of all the charities in the world to choose from, can someone please explain to me why the Kanbar Institute of Film and Television is a charity in dire need of my money? And what about the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust? Okay, maybe some people want to contribute but is it really necessary to dedicate one of the only 8 charities in the program to this cause? I don’t think so!

Maybe I’m just being ridiculous but if I was going to launch a charity bracelet like the one shown above, I think I would have chosen better charities than some of the ones they’ve chosen…what do you think?
