2. Hermès Rose Gold Kelly – USD 2 million
I know you’re probably sick and tired of Hermès by now, but this is the last one on our list of most expensive designer handbags in the world in 2016, I promise. With the collaboration of designer Pierre Hardy, Hermès earned the second place in our list. It’s a bit sad though, they’re featured 5 times, that’s half the ranking, but they couldn’t make first place. It’s like the hare and the turtle fable, they were so confident they laid down to take a nap missed their chance to top the most ridiculously expensive bag list.
In any case, I’d rather attempt to swim in a pool filled with 2 million dollars money and drown than spending that kind of cash on a rose gold mini-box dotted with 1160 diamonds; it just sounds more realistic, which makes this purse, by all means, ludicrous. Fortunately, only 12 of this babies were made, I guess someone had to say “ok, 24 million should be enough for now” at one point.
1. Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse – USD 3.8 million
There is no mistery as to why this bag is the first on our list of 10 most expensive designer handbags in the world in 2016, since it’s even featured in the Guinness Book of Records. This tiny diamond and gold purse costs 2.7 times the amount of money the average American makes in a lifetime. Nevertheless, in spite of costing USD 3.8 million, it still looks like something you could buy in Chinatown. I know I earlier said that a little bling couldn’t hurt, but this is just wrong, and it just looks to me like a pointless use of geologic resources. All of this talk about precious stones, and how worthless they really are has put me in need to quote Fiona Apple: “what’s so impressive about a diamond, except the mining?”. Just think about it.
So, what are your thoughts? Are any of these bags really worth their price?
