Most Expensive Handbags Of 2009

Ranked #6,579 in Fashion & Beauty, #109,309 overall

I realize there are a whole lot of you reading this who will not be buying these bags. Just thinking of someone running around wearing a handbag that costs the same as a two-story, four bedroom house on a large chunk of land does something to my tummy. But in these times of economic difficulty, it's so nice to look...and dream. If you're like me, the purse to the left is probably more of an accurate description of what you're carrying. And like me, you probably spend a good portion of your time scraping cookie from the T.V. screen, kissing boo-boos, and getting some type of bodily fluid on you on a daily basis. This is for you. Think of it as a brief escape.... enjoy.

So...

Would you spend this kind of money on a bag?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes! These are essential!

Athenah says:

maybe it just so weird about rich people they will go out spend this kind of money on 1 hand bag and never use it again after that one special nite but if i had the money they yeah i would spen this kind of money on the bag

Bagscents says:

You can't take it with you and since it's all relative, I would have to say yes!

No way, Jose!

oregongal says:

I never knew there were such prices on handbags!

The_Health_Lady says:

If I had the money to be able to spend 30 grand or so on a handbag, I'd be more apt to spend $50 or so and pick up 600 to give them away sort of like a pay it forward type of a thing.

whatsreal12 says:

Unh, not even if I had it! Ok, *maybe* a Hermes Birkin (but not Croc - that's nasty) USED. Thats as far as I go, but thanks for the Vacation in My Head !!!

laurita1976 says:

Oh no! why all this money only for one bag.
I prefer to have a lot of marie bag

BevsPaper says:

Not even if I had the money!

lou16 says:

I'm afraid not, but if I show my hubby this lens then maybe I could get him to agree to a YSL muse for only $2000!!!!

AndyPo says:

No, but my "other-half" probably would. We were on vacation in Italy last week and it was difficult to keep her out of the handbag shops. Why would anyone need more than one bag? :-)

Treasures-By-Brenda says:

I wanted to check Yes and say I would spend that kind of money on a bag if I had a few million dollars but I didn't want to throw your survey off because, of course, my real answer is no.

Are Designer Bags More Your Style??

So Here Is A Question For You...

There are many different names for "The Handbag". Aside from being called a handbag, you have purse, tote or tote bag, just plain bag and I get why some would choose to use any of these names to refer to their purse. But the one that I don't get is POCKET BOOK, why do some call it a pocket book? It does not fit in your pocket and it's not a book?

    Ha Ha... I asked a similar question on my lens but I didn't come up with nearly as many names and that is so strange because now that you've said it, I realize my mother called it a "pocket book"! You are so right.... it makes no sense :-)
