Fashionably Giving Back

A 20-year-old Highland Park woman is using handbags to help give back to the hospital that saved her life. 

Yali Derman is a two time cancer survivor who was first diagnosed with leukemia at 5-years-old.   She's created her own line of tote bags to help raise money for the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.  


The new carry on made it's debut yesterday at Saks Fifth Avenue in Highland Park.  

Take a look at Yali's inspiring story on YouTube:
