How Much For That Designer Handbag!
For as long as I can recall, I have been completely obsessed with designer handbags. I spent the majority of my youth dreaming of the day when I could afford to buy my favorite designer handbags. Here I am, some ten years later, still looking forward to that day. While I have been known to skip out on my bills to buy the latest trendy handbag, I have yet to spend more than $1000.00 on an individual bag. A girl can still dream, can’t she?
I was leafing through some catalogs during the weekend, and I was amazed at how stunningly dear some of the high-end designer handbags truly are. I knew they were costly, but I had no idea how very pricey. Other innocence of youth! I decided that it would be helpful for our legion of faithful readers to have a handy reference of the most costly designer handbags in the world. So here it goes
It has been written about numerous times in the press and in the blogosphere, but I simply cannot fight this little gem! If I had to name an all time favorite design house, Fendi would be the one. I am not sure how they manage to do it, but they are doggedly able to strike an awesome balance between innovation and classic design in all of their creations.
Fendi designs some of the most exciting purses in the fashion industry, and the ‘B.Bag’ is one of the most sought-after handbags in the world. One might think that the $30,000 ticket could be a deterrent, but not for those with the resources to support their addiction!
Another bag which has given me far too many restless nights is the Hermes ‘Birkin’ bag! These bags were named after Jane Birkin, the oh-so-fabulous English actress and fashion icon. These bags are often cloned, but never truly copied. With a price tag of over $20,000, it is easy to realize why they are a fave of vendors of inexpensive, imitation handbags. As you are likely aware, these bags are available by special order only. Similarly, the final costs will very much be dependent on the materials and hardware employed in their construction. Wow! Do I actually need a Sugar father, or what?
If there was one other bag that creeps into my dreams with any regularity, it would be the “Muse” from Yves Saint Laurent. It is very much like a traditional bowling bag in shape and design. The first time I saw her was at Saks on Fifth Ave in NYC, and from that moment I knew one day she would be mine. If I had my way, I would choose the oh-so-supple white crocodile version. I cannot think of anything I would rather spend $20,000 on…aside from the “Birkin” bag mentioned above. Wouldn’t I make the perfect girlfriend? Want to go shopping sometime?
