The auction of Shakira's clothes that we reported on earlier this week was a resounding success, with over $76,000 raised for the Pies Descalzos Foundation.
The money raised will be distributed through the singer’s Bare Feet campaign, and will be used to build a school for needy children in Northern Colombia.
Several items attracted high bids, with a lavender skirt going for $1,000, and a custom-made bra reaching $3,000. But the most sought after item was VIP tickets, including a meet-and-greet, to Shakira’s upcoming concert in Toronto, which sold for $14,000.
“It was a phenomenal success,” said Eric Gazin, president of Auction Cause. “We had bidders from 10 countries.”
But for those who missed out, there is still a few items left – two guitars autographed by the singer are available on eBay until Sunday, February 17.
