You Won't Believe The Cost Of This Handbag by Nobody: 10:34am On Aug 17, 2016
You may have been wondering which bag holds the record of 'most expensive handbag ever', well, the answer to your question is no more far-fetched. The most expensive handbag ever is a matte white Diamond Himalaya Niloticus crocodile diamond Birkin 30 with 18k white gold and diamond hardware. The bag claimed the record on Monday after it was sold by Christie, a private Asian collector for $300,168 on Monday.

A statement by the auction house before the record-sale read, "The diamond pieces created by Hermes are exceptional, but none are nearly as iconic as the Himalaya,". "It is believed that only one or two of the Diamond Himalayas are produced each year, globally, making it one of the lowest production runs for handbags."

This record-breaking sale follow last year's sale of a fuchsia diamond-studded Hermes Birkin worth $222,ooo, thereby cementing Birkin's fashion credentials. According to Helaine Fendelman, of Helaine Fendelman & Associates, a New York-based appraiser "Its rarity and exclusivity, the quality of leather and craftsmanship, its style and the ability to customize," all contribute to making this the most valuable bag in the world today". "The fact they are instantly recognizable without a large emblazoned logo only adds to their appeal, she added, although clever marketing by Hermes also helps." "By not telling ladies how many are manufactured in a year, the idea that these are scarce makes them more desirable. It is human nature to want what others cannot get," Fendelman concluded.
