Of all the different types of accessories, handbags are the ones we tend to be most willing to invest in. We've watched Samantha in Sex and The City lust after a Hermes Birkin bag and Melanie Griffiths trade in her cheap bag for a businesslike Donna Karan bag in Working Girl. A beautiful handbag has the potential to land you a job, a promotion or the eye of that cute guy at the bar.
But how much would you be willing to spend on a bag? £100? £1000? £10,000? We've had a look at some of the most expensive handbags in the world, which range from those in the 100s of thousands to those in the millions! As you'd expect, most of these are limited editions, designed with only the richest and most prestigious clients in mind. Have a look at our gallery to see what goes into the most expensive handbag in the world.
