Nice bag– it’s expensive. Sometimes it’s even hard to imagine how much.

Created by a great master from the Country rising sun, this design marvel is stunning in its luxurious practicality! Ginza Tanaka managed to create a platinum accessory that can be easily disassembled like a construction set: a strap can replace a necklace, and jewelry decorating a bag can replace brooches or pendants.

The largest diamond used in the decor of the bag weighs about eight carats. In total, over two thousand diamond stones with a total weight of two hundred and eight carats were used to inlay the jewelry and haberdashery masterpiece.

There is no second such model in the world and is not expected, which also affected the price of the jewel bag: in 2008 it was valued at almost two million. It is difficult to calculate how much it would cost the owner of such a thing to protect it if the accessory had an owner: after being sold only once, the handbag became an exhibit in one of the Japanese museums.

REFERENCE. The first decorated bag is dated by archaeologists to approximately the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. Several hundred dog teeth were used for decoration.

Five incredibly expensive bags

These bags are the dream of many fans of expensive accessories. Especially those that are made in a very limited edition.

Chanel Diamond Forever

Blatant luxury of a product set in white gold genuine leather, encrusted with diamonds (334 pieces!) forced everyone who decided to make such a purchase to become anonymous. Of the thirteen buyers, the most daring was the recognized queen of shocking Madonna, who showed up with an expensive “envelope” on a chain of white gold of the highest standard to a charity evening. Having shown off with an inaccessible mere mortal object, the diva sold it at auction for three and a half hundred thousand"green".

REFERENCE: The bag as a costume decoration, and not just a convenience, begins its history in the 14th century. Expensive fabrics, like velvet, have since been embroidered with gold and beads, and decorated with precious stones. The higher the status of the lady, the more expensive her uniform.

Lana Marks Cleopatra Clutch

Only a newfangled couturier could imagine the legendary Cleopatra with a clutch (and Lana Marx is exactly that!). The “unhistorical” nature of the name did not bother Helen Mirren, who showed up with a modest-looking handbag at the 2007 Oscars.

Appearances, however, turned out to be deceptive: the discreet light material turned out to be exotic alligator skin, in addition, “weighted” with white gold and diamonds right up to the quarter million dollars. During the crisis, such extravagance was considered bad manners, for which the actress was reproached by the entire world media. Having steadfastly withstood their condemnation, Mirren established a unique fashion for things from the Cleopatra brand among other inhabitants of Hollywood.

Connecting the incompatible by combining different materials, designer Marc Jacobs was well-versed in this sophistication. In 2008, he shocked the fashion world with a product made from garbage collected at a city cleanup. So trimming plastic bottle, scraps of tea bags and cigarette packets and other things traditionally thrown into the trash turned out to be a designer product for one and a half hundred thousand dollars. Famous socialites with the image of brawlers - Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan - contributed to this.

Created by the famous wife of Serge Gainsbourg, the bag model remains one of the most expensive to this day. In 2014, it was embodied in a version made of crocodile skin in different colors. A convenient product that looks discreetly expensive and is worth one hundred thousand dollars.

REFERENCE: The first bag, created according to sketches by Jane Birkin, was released in 1984.

It’s hard to call a fragile rose-shaped product made of diamonds, tourmalines and sapphires a bag. This one-of-a-kind creation by Hungarian Judith Libier stands ninety two thousand dollars. She clearly does not intend to repeat this experience.
