Birkin bag sets record for priciest bag purchased at auction, A Hermes Birkin sack that sold for more than $200,000 Monday set the record for the most extravagant tote ever acquired at a bartering. What made it worth so much, you inquire?
It may be the 18K white gold and precious stone equipment and its Porosus Crocodile skin material.
The sack was purchased by an obscure phone bidder and was sold at Christie's in Hong Kong for $222,942.
The past record was situated at a U.S. closeout in 2011 when a red crocodile cleaned Birkin pack went for $203,150.
For that latest record-breaker, $222,942 could purchase ... a great deal.
You could get around 743 Michael Kors purses, 260 Louis Vuitton red pumps, or approximately 22 Apple Watches with the 18-karat yellow gold case and dark game band.
The Telegraph predicts this fuchsia pack won't hold the record for long, however. Christie's told the outlet a dark variant of the same pack is available to be purchased Monday.
To guarantee this handbag will make it securely to the purchaser, Forbes reports it will be conveyed by a Brink's.
