Pardus Clutch by Amanda Pearl
Designer Amanda Brotman of Amanda Pearl has created three deliciously wild clutches to help benefit World Wildlife Fund. Why? It all started with a baby cheetah. (Aw.)

Brotman visited Africa in the summer of 2008 and, while visiting villages in Kenya to learn about the economic initiatives, her group was given the opportunity to help nurse a baby cheetah back to health. The cheetah’s mother had been killed, and it was struggling to survive on its own.

She was inspired to help more animals, and created the Le Tout collection in the spirit of giving — and at a perfect time for holiday shoppers looking for ways to make their gifts more meaningful.

All three Le Tout clutches, one of which is above, are just $165, and 20 percent of the proceeds go directly to World Wildlife Fund. Check out the gallery below for the other two clutches, plus a couple of baby cheetah photos (we just couldn’t help ourselves). Visit Amanda Pearl to shop.
