A handbag can be an essential part of a woman’s wardrobe. It may complement or contrast her other attire in myriad colorful ways – it can give a woman of any social class an impeccable aura of style and bestow the appearance of a flawless sense of fashion. Those who are wealthy enjoy the privilege of spending outrageous amounts of money on something as simple as a handbag – here are the 5 most expensive handbags in the world, as of 2016:
5. Hermes Matte Crocodile Birkin Bag
This handbag boasts extreme stylishness – perhaps at the cost of some wildlife. With a price tag of up to $120,000, it certainly clamps its jaws on the checkbook…
4. Louis Vuitton Urban Satchel
This bag definitely catches the eye – it features all manner of “junk” on the outside. As a piece of artwork, it boasts an artworthy price tag of $150,000.
3. Lana Marks “Cleopatra” Bag
This stylish bag features a shiny, silver-colored surface and a price worth its weight in gold – $250,000
2. Chanel “Diamond Forever” Handbag
Here is another crocodile-skin bag – this one is covered in diamonds and white gold. It costs more than a pretty penny. At $261,000, this bag certainly isn’t for the swamp-dwellers…
1. Mouawad’s “1001 Nights” Diamond Purse
The price of this bag soars above the rest. It contains over $3,000,000 worth of gold, diamonds, and handmade effort. Supposedly, it takes over 8,000 hours for an artist to produce one of these bags.
As you can see, these handbags aren’t for the everyday mall shopper – but if you should happen to hit the lottery or get your big break as a celebrity, these may be the perfect handbag choices for you! Until next time, happy shopping, and happy holidays!
