The Louis Vuitton For Unicef digital campaign, entitled #makeapromise launches today, during the sixth biennial Unicef Ball in Los Angeles, where Louis Vuitton will be the presenting sponsor.

The Chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton Michael Burke says of the collaboration, “Charity starts at home. We’ve challenged our teams to come up with a simple but strong product that symbolises protection.

“The Silver Lockit is inspired by the unpickable tumbler lock, invented by Georges Vuitton in 1890 to protect clients’ most precious belongings that travelled in Louis Vuitton trunks. The Silver Lockit is also a token of our promise to help children in urgent need. Our goal is to reach as many people as possible, ask them to share our promise and to make a real difference.”
