five bags to lust after

ever since i started blogging, the only bags i've acquired are eyebags (see what blogging has done to my sense of humour?)... haha... all right, lame jokes aside, i love bags too. i have a bag for every aspect of my life: a haversack for work, a sports bag for dragonboat, a gym bag, a bag for climbing. with bags, i don't need them luxurious and expensive but these are five bags that we can all lust after.

1) mouawad's 1001 nights diamond purse - $3.8 million


officially certified by guinness world record, the heart-shaped purse is handcrafted from 18kt gold and has 4,517 diamonds with a total weight of 381.92 carats. it was made by ten artisans who worked on it for a total of 8,800 hours.

2) hermes birkin by ginza tanaka - $1.9 million


this was sold in 2008 for around $1.9 million. it is made of platinum and has over 2,000 diamonds. it is also versatile, so that in addition to being a handbag, the diamond strap can be used as a necklace or bracelet by removing it from the bag. the bag also has an 8-carat pear shaped shimmering diamond that can be used separately.

3) chanel 'diamond forever' classic handbag - $261,000


this handbag boasts 334 diamonds for a total of 3.56 carats, in 18-carat white gold. the shoulder straps are also made from white gold. worldwide, there are only thirteen available with five of them being in the usa.

4) lana marks cleopatra bag - $250,000

5) hermes matte crocodile birkin bag - $120,000
