The World’s most expensive purse sold for about $203,000!!

Some people are crazy when it comes to fashion, they will pay a great amount of money to satisfy themselves with fashionable items. about a week ago, the most expensive purse was sold for exactly $203,150. as reported by Women's Wear Daily, it is made by the famous brand Hermes. The handbag was sold at an auction in Dallas where an anonymous person broke the world record for the highest amount of money ever bid on a purse. The auctioneers were extremely surprised by the price that the handbag was sold for, and it exceeded their highest expectations, as they said."The pricey purse was an Hermes Birkin, easily one of the most iconic and expensive handbags ever made". Women's Wear Daily reported that the handbag was made of 18K white gold, red crocodile skin, and diamond. The first Hermes Birkin ever made was in 1984, it was made for actress Jane Birkin who had the first piece which was a very important thing in fashion history. In April 2010, Hermes started making the Birkin again but in limited editions which led to having many people put their names on waiting lists so that they would get the chance to buy the handbag, which were also expensive and the cheapest ones were about $8,000 to $10,000. "The bags come in four sizes, all of which are lined with goatskin, and prices can vary depending on the materials used on the exterior". I think in my opinion that paying $200,000 for a handbag is an extremely waste of money which could help many people around the world that are starving because of how pour they are. This amount of money paid on a handbag that might be out of fashion in the next year or so, is too much and this money could have been given to people that really need it, but then again we can't forget that some people suffer for fashion and are shopaholics.
