2007’s Expensive Handbags
Friday, April 27, 2007 19:08Kuwait has always been full of expensive bags but even I am skeptical of seeing the following bags hanging off some fashionista’s arm here.
This Birkin bag is the most expensive selling for $148,000. Why the hefty price tag? It’s got diamonds!
The Bottega Veneta sells for about half of that at $78,000.
Chanel has also come up with a few pricey bags this season, one of them being the Biarritz, selling at $43,150.
I think Lana Marks Cleopatra bag is pretty. It’s got the requisite alligator skin and diamonds. But it’s the 18 carat white gold setting for the diamonds that raises this beauty’s tag to $100,000.
And of course, the hideous mess of a bag, Louis Vuitton’s Tribute Patchwork bag ($42,000). Louis Vuitton has been a target of the bag counterfeitering mafia for a while now but are they willing to copy this monstrosity?
If the price tag wasn’t an issue, which (if any) of the bags would you be proud to carry?

To be honest I would recommend a handbag that very few people know about, it’s called The “Ilana” by L XLIX (Fifty Forty-nine) From what I heard it’s very rear and only avaliable to a select few women. To me if you are going to spend that amount of money I would want my woman to have something the very few could have regardless of price. That’s status to me.
