Most Expensive Handbags and Purses in the World
Which are the Most Expensive Bags and Purses in the World
?
Louis Vuitton was the first manufacturer of "designer bags" and he
created a fashion that has been with us ever since. I consider
anything over $1,000 to be expensive for a handbag but some people
are willing to pay tens of thousands or millions. So just in case
you have a few thousand dollars to spare here are the top ten most
expensive handbags ever sold.
Top 10 Most Expensive Women's Handbags
1. The Mouawad's 1001 Nights Diamond Purse - $3.8

Designer Handbags - Video on How to Spot a Fake
Coach Bag?
Coach bags are high quality and very popular but how to make
sure you are not buying a fake or knock-off? In this video Pam
explains how to spot the difference between a genuine Coach bag and
a fake - in her charming southern accent.
Why buy a genuine Coach bag? Two reasons - they are high quality
bags that will last a lifetime and they are not as expensive other
designer bags such as Louis Vuitton or
Gucci.
What to look out for when buying a Coach handbag?
- Zipper should be high quality - they are designed to last a
lifetime
- Stitching must be perfectly straight everywhere
- All letters must be perfectly symmetrical
- There should be 2 rows of Cs
- If there are signature prints they must be on the inside OR
on the outside but not both
- The hardware must be good quality nickel or brass and heavy
- Any leather tag inside a Coach bag must have a serial number
with letters and numbers
- There should be no paper or plastic wrapping round the metal
parts
- Buckles must be tight-fitting
- Dustbags are high quality and plain (no letters)
- The leather used in Coach bags is very thick and long-lasting
- Coach handbags are made to last a lifetime

Designer Bags - Mulberry Alexa and Tillie with 20%
Discount!
Mulberry is one of the great success stories
in UK retailing, despite the economic hard times the world is going
through.
|
|
Mulberry Alexa
|
It would appear that
luxury goods and
designer
handbags are immune to the general woes. One of Mulberry's
greatest successes is the Alexa (named after Alexa Chung) handbag
and despite being just over 1 year old it is still very much sought
after by handbag junkies.
The Alexa costs around £785 or $1200 if you are in the

USA and a lot of Mulberry's success is due to the popularity
of this bag, which was launched in January 2010. Sometimes selling
over 350 a week. You can however get 20% reductions on
Mulberry bags at certain specific stores if you
buy 500 shares in the company. You need a special shareholder
discount card which you can get from Mulberry's after you've bought
your shares.
According to Mulberry's creative director, the recession actually
helped in the Alexa's success in the UK at least, as British people
turned to buying British. Also apparently women will spend money
buying handbags and shoes rather than pay the rent!
There is also the argument that quality designer handbags are
actually more of an investment than an expense as you can always
sell them on, perhaps for more than you paid for them!
|
|
Mulberry Tillie
|
Also according to Emma Hill, the next big thing after the Alexa
is the Tillie a mid-sized, soft leather bag which capitalizes on
being both utilitarian and luxury.

Hermes Bags - Prices are High but so is the
Quality of the Bags
Hermès (pronounced airrr-mess in French) is a French
fashion house established in 1837, now famous for their bags and
other fashion goods. They specialize in leather, lifestyle
accessories, perfumery, ready-to-wear, and luxury goods. Its famous
logo is of what is known as a "Duc carriage" with horse.
|
|
Thierry Hermes - Founder of Hermes
|
The Hermès family were originally Protestant Germans,
who moved to France in 1828. In 1837, Thierry Hermès established
Hermès as a harness workshop, in the "Grands Boulevards" district
of Paris, with the aim of supplying goods to European noblemen. He
set about creating the finest wrought harnesses and bridles
available to the carriage trade. The company gained fame in 1855,
when it won the first prize in its class at the 1855 Exposition
Universelle in Paris and the company has never looked back
since.
Hermes' son Charles-Émile Hermès took over control from his father
and in 1880 moved the shop to 24 Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré, near
the Palais de l'Elysée. The Hermès shop is still at this location
today. The company catered to the elite of Europe, Russia, Asia,
and the Americas.
Hermès now has 14 different product divisions which include
leather, ties, scarves, women's fashion, menswear, watches,
perfume, footwear, gloves, stationery, enamel, tableware,
decorative arts, and jewelry.
Given that Hermes only use very high-quality materials and the best
hand-craftsmanship the prices of Hermès goods are very high. For
example a Hermès scarf may cost US$375, a tie may cost US$180, and
a Kelly bag is in the region of US$6,900. Hermès is considered by
some to be "the height of luxury with a nod to the house's
equestrian heritage."
Hermès only employ one craftsperson on one handbag at a time, who
hand-stitches each individual piece. Hermès production methods are
therefore very labor-intensive and can take 18 to 24 hours to make.
Each Kelly bag, for example, requires 18 hours of work by a single
craftsman. Hermès' leathers include alligator, buffalo, crocodile,
shark, lizard, oxen, calf, deer, goat, and ostrich.
|
|
Hermes Evelyne Bag
|
If a Hermès bag requires repair, owners are encouraged to bring the
item back to their nearest Hermès store where it can be shipped to
France for reconditioning or repair.
Popular bags include the
Birkin bag, made famous by English actress
Jane Birkin, the "
Kelly bag", made popular by actress and
Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, the Constance shoulder bag
preferred by Jacqueline Onassis. Kelly and Constance bags are
still in high demand, and there used to be a one-year waiting
list although since economic crisis in 2007 waiting lists have
been eliminated, or reduced.
Some current Hermes handbags with prices :-
Evelyne Bag, silver and palladium hardware, café taurillon clemence
leather, outside pocket, adjustable strap,leather tab
closure, perforated leather plaque, 11 1/4" x 12" x 2 1/2"

In 1971 Roger Saul created the
Mulberry
handbag company in the UK with his mother. Mulberry
started life as a British lifestyle brand, but it now sells luxury
designer handbags, bags, purses, menswear, womenswear, and women's
shoes. It has also gained recognition worldwide for their fine
leather goods, a success which has been emulated by another UK
designer handbags manufacturer
Radley handbags. They must be doing something
right as they recently announced a surge in sales of over 78%.

Mulberry's strength resides is their luxury designer bags - like
the Roxanne and the Bayswater and - which have become fashion
classics. Mulberry hired British designer Emma Hill as creative
designer in 2008 and she has since started to building a loyal
following of discerning clients for her refined and innovative
styles.
Mulberry bags are not particularly
cheap but they are not outrageously expensive either, ranging in
price from a few hundred dollars or pounds to a few thousand. In
addition, if you buy a few shares in the Mulberry Group you are
entitled to a 20% discount on their bags and handbags etc... in
some of their stores.
Just make sure you they send you a shareholder discount card as you
will need it to claim your discount.
Mulberry makes its designer leather bags in the UK at its factory
in Somerset and has plans to increase the size of the factory and
make even more bags, which is good for the local workforce.
Mulberry also trains apprentices so that local youngsters can learn
a useful skill.

Dooney and Bourke handbags are excellent
designer bags but founder
Frederic Bourke (who
hasn't been associated with te company for a long time) was given a
one year and one day prison sentence yesterday for "foreign
bribery". Last July he was convicted for investing $8 M with Czech
Entreprenuer, Victor Kozeny, in the early 1990’s to bribe the
Azerbaijan government in order to get in on the state’s private oil
company. Burke will also have to serve 3 years probation after his
release, and is also facing a fine of $1 million.

Bourke claims he is a victim of Kozeny, and that he didn’t know he
was paying cash and jewelry to foreign government officials. He
will appeal against the conviction and his lawyer feels Bourke has
every chance of winning the appeal.
Dooney and Burke fell out a long time ago and Peter Dooney now runs
the company. Back in May Bourke said that he believed Dooney was
secretly injecting him with a “harmful substance.” Mr Dooney
laughed off the accusation saying “I haven’t seen the guy in years
and years. No secret injections. Categorically denied.”
On a more festive note
