There was a surprise item at the end of the night, a Birkin that Naomi Campbell donated on the spot. Though she was attached to the blue crocodile bag ("It hurts me. It's like chocolate, it's like sex"), she was inspired by the charitable nature of the evening. de Pury started the auction which quickly went up to $100k. Campbell reminded the crowd that "it's bigger than the other bags you've had on stage" and even Koons chimed in and said "it's the sexiest bag." When de Pury asked if he can sell it, Campbell emphatically said "not yet!" The stalling worked, as Laurence Graff ended up winning the bag for $175k, with Naomi Campbell hand delivering it accompanied by a kiss.
