Top 5 Most Expensive Bags in the World

The handbag fashion only really started in the late nineteenth century but it was not until around 1920 that handbags or bags became an essential item of a woman’s wardrobe. It is common knowledge that designer handbags are expensive, but the craze of some rich woman makes handbags not an accessory but an icon they worship. In the result, some designers started to create fabulous items that cost a fortune. Here is the list of Top 5 Most Expensive Handbags ever created.

The whole look of the models carry us into 50s where chic women stroll in corseted full skirted dresses accessorized with high ponytails, chunky heeled pumps adorned with flat bows and a slew of structured handbags.

One of the most extravagant handbag styles is Speedy. The Speedy silhouette gets a makeover in various materials, ranging from smooth and simple calf leather with a single raised LV logo, an ostrich and canvas pairing, laser cut and burnout LV monogram canvas, crocodile and patent vernis, embellished in sequins, and woven. Despite the use of a single silhouette, the variety of bags will appeal to all bag lovers – from die hard Louis Vuitton fans to ladies who lunch and all gals in between.

Les Extraordinaires Damier Virtuose, featuring hand painted crocodile leather and sequins in a Damier pattern, is a striking bag. But not only elegance of the bag is sticking, what really shocks is the price. At, $25,000 I am not sure who will be able to afford it.

And, here is another my favorite from the collection – the Monogram Guipure with Monogram lace, dutchess satin and Alligator trim, flap, and handles. It is available at $13 000.
