Ivan Gunawan's Bag Bought by Raffi Ahmad for Rp 500 Million, Proceeds Donated for Mosque Construction

"Masyaallah alhamdulillah today my hermes croco bag sold for 500 million bought by Raffi Ahmad," said Ivan Gunawan when met in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, recently.

The man commonly known as Igun explained that the money from the sale has been channeled through a foundation to ensure that the funds reach their destination. This is his full commitment to assist in the construction of places of worship for the Muslim community in Japan.

"The total amount has been deposited into the Cinta Quran Foundation, so everything is 100 percent donated for the construction of a mosque in Yokohama," he emphasized.

This mosque construction project seems to be on track. Ivan Gunawan mentioned that the construction process has now reached halfway. He even has plans to visit the construction site directly early next year.

"Now the process is 50 percent complete, God willing, we plan to go to Japan in January, we want to pray for the first time there, God willing," said Igun.

This is not the first time Ivan Gunawan has been involved in social activities for mosque construction. Previously, he was also known to have participated in the construction of a mosque in Uganda, Africa.

When asked about the possibility of selling other luxury items to raise donation funds, this big-bodied designer admitted he does not have any plans in the near future. However, he does not rule out the possibility of doing it again in the future. "Hmmm for now there is nothing else, I will just look for it again later," concluded Ivan Gunawan.
