Bags That Will Cost You Over a Grand a Piece

SP Bragg — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:02:38 +0000

Some of us must have money to burn… not me unfortunately, but I thought that I would go “shopping” this morning to see what you get for a $1000 bucks or more. Here’s what Bloomingdale’s has in that category. The big question comes at the end… so be ready!

Celine Orlov $1500 (made of goatskin)

Zac Posen Lucia Woven $1895.00 (woven leather)

Marc Jacobs Mercer Large Multi Pocket $1150.00 goldtone hardware, soft leather (that’s all it says about this particular bag. For that price I would something more than just a name wouldn’t you?)

Lambertson Truex Gansevoort Lidell Metallic Hobo $1295.00 Tumbled metallic lambskin leather hobo with contrast trim and adjustable shoulder strap. Silvertone hardware

Celine Day One Leather Flap Satchel $1550.00

Now here’s the big question. Did any of these handbags catch your eye and if so, which is your favorite?? Or, would you prefer to buy an inexpensive bag that you can replace on a yearly basis if you get bored with it. Some bags… are dirt cheap.

*Actually, I even saw handbags used as a way of decorating a wall once. It was in some decorator magazine a few years ago.

Most Expensive Women's Shoes

“Without those glass slippers, Cinderella would still be sweeping the fireplace, and Prince Charming would be in the middle of a nasty divorce from one of her step-sisters. Deprived of her bejeweled pumps, Dorothy would be stranded in Oz. And the old lady who lived in her shoe? Well, she probably would have been better off investing in real estate than in a broken-down old boot.

The female shoe has always been an object of fascination, endowed with mythical power. And, as women from former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos (who possessed 1,200 pairs of shoes) to Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw (who one episode realized she’d spent $40,000 on footwear, yet couldn’t afford an apartment) have shown, some women are willing to spend fortunes to be properly shod. ”

If I was going to ask you to make a guess at what shoe designer can claim the title of creating the most expensive pair of shoes, who do you think it would be? To find out you are going to have to click on the link below, but I have a feeling that you are going to know already!!
