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 over the weekend, and I
was amazed at how incredibly expensive some of the high-end
designer
handbags really are. I knew they were expensive, but I had
no clue how very expensive. Oh…the innocence of youth!
I decided that it would be useful for our legion of faithful
readers to have a handy reference of the most expensive designer
handbags on the planet. So here goes…
It has been written about countless times in the press and
in the blogosphere, but I simply cannot resist this little
gem!
If I had to name an all-time favorite design house, Fendi
would be the one. I don't know how they manage to do it, but they
are consistently able to strike an incredible balance between
innovation and classic design in all of their creations.
Fendi
designs some of the most exciting handbags 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 price tag
might
be a deterrent, but not for those with the means to support
their addiction!
Another bag that has given me far too many sleepless nights
is the Hermes "Birkin" bag! These bags were named
after Jane Birkin, the oh-so-fabulous British actress and
fashion
icon. These bags are often duplicated, but never truly replicated.
With a price tag of over $20,000, it is easy to understand
why they are a favorite of vendors of cheap, imitation handbags.
As you are likely aware, these bags are available by special
order only. Furthermore, the final costs will very much be
dependent on the materials and hardware used in their construction.
Wow! Do I need a Sugar Daddy, 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?
