This Is The World’s Most Expensive Handbag Ever -

1001

Just when you thought that nothing could ever beat the sale of a rare Hermès Birkin for an astounding $382,000 USD (approximately PHP 19 Million), think again. Overthrowing the immaculate, much-coveted Niloticus Crocodile Himalaya Birkin 30 is the 1001 Nights Diamond Purse by House of Mouawad, which is on sale for nothing short of $3.8 Million USD (approximately PHP 192 Million).

Certified by the Guinness Book of World Records, the heart shaped purse designed by none other than Robert Mouawad himself is encrusted with over 4,517 yellow, pink, and colourless diamonds totalling to 381.92 carats. Meticulously crafted by 10 skilled artisans in the span of 8,800 hours, it’s no wonder that the 1001 Nights Diamond Purse dons such as heavy price tag.

Luckily the bag is still being auctioned off by British auction house, Christie’s. If you’ve got a mere PHP 192 million to spare, we suggest you keep a heavy eye on this one before someone snags it first.
