If you are already impressed by the long waiting list of a Hermes Birkin, imagine the long queue for one featuring diamond-studded hardware. The Fuchsia Porosus Crocodile Diamond Birkin 35 just set the world’s most expensive handbag record for HK$1.72m at Hong Kong’s Christie’s auction last month.
Louis Vuitton
The Yayoi Kusama Pumpkin Minaudiere Jewel Bag is a collaboration piece between the Japanese artist and the French brand. Made from pure gold, resin gems and metal, the handcrafted pumpkin-shape purse highlights the exquisite and delicate craftsmanship. Only five pieces were ever made. With a hefty price tag of US$132,316, the bags were sold out instantly.
Chanel
