Celebrity yoga bags hit eBay

Thursday 8 May, 2008

Traditionalists bemoan the rise of yoga's celebrity association - but, like anything, there's a flip side to the coin.

This time, yoga bags are in the spotlight. Celebrity designed one-off yoga bags are on sale on eBay to raise money to help breast cancer sufferers in time for Mother's Day.

A group of celebrities, including Courtney Cox and Susan Sarandon, teamed up with cut crystal leader Swarovski to each design a crystal-encrusted yoga bag.

Bidding will go on through May 15, with proceeds going straight to the Libby Ross Breast Cancer Foundation.

Check out the designs here - I think they are rather pretty.
