What’s the most expensive handbag you have ever had? Aside from carrying one’s personal belongings such as makeup bag, car keys, pen and so on. Some ladies flaunt it as a means of self-expression, from being used to display their wealth or as a status symbol accessory in showcasing their exuding individuality; some ladies even use it instinctively to protect their romantic relationship, which prompts them to flaunt their pricey handbag whenever they feel threatened by another.
