One lucky reader will win a brand new Louis Vuitton Montorgueil PM bag courtesy of Sandrarose.com and Louis Vuitton! (subject to the Contest Terms & Conditions)

This bag retails for $940 and is already out of stock online!

I received my inspiration for this giveaway from an article I read on the Chicago Defender entitled “Remembering To Care for the “Least” of Us” by Phil Wilson.

He writes: “No matter what type of difficulty or tragedy we’ve experienced in our life, all of us can begin again. And no matter how successful we become, there is value in remembering where we came from and those still trapped there, including people living with HIV and AIDS.”

This Louis Vuitton handbag will go to the reader who best demonstrates her outstanding character and spirit of giving back through unselfish service to others.

All you have to do to qualify is write a 400-word essay explaining what you have done for the least of us.

Please note: This contest is open to anyone with a job email or a paid ISP email such as Bellsouth, ATT, Verizon, etc. SUBMISSIONS FROM FREE EMAILS WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. (Free emails are Yahoo, gmail, Hotmail or any email that you do not pay for.)

Please READ the contest Terms & Conditions.

Email your entry to essay @ sandrarose.com (remove the spaces).

It would help if you attached a photo of yourself being of service to others!

A description of the bag is provided by Tavius of Louis Vuitton at Phipps Plaza after the break!

The Montorgueil monogram bag is a variation of the traditional Speedy with longer shoulder straps and beautiful Gold hardware accents, reminiscent of our hard sided luggage.

With a simple and feminine shape in Monogram canvas, this bag sets off any outfit with a touch of refinement. Its smooth shape and comfortable shoulder carry make it perfect for everyday use.

The inspiration behind the Montorgueil is the Rue Montorgueil, a street in Paris, France that is lined with famous restaurants, quaint cafés, bakeries, cheese shops, and wine shops. Rue Montorgueil has become recognized as one of the best places for hip Parisians to socialize while doing their daily shopping.
