| 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. • Hermes Matte Crocodile Birkin Bag ($ 120,000). Named after French singer/songwriter Jane Birkin, the bag (pictured here) is like the one sold at auction house Doyle New York. The clasp of this 30 centimeter tote boasts 10 carats of white diamonds. And its body is made of crocodile. |
