Wishful Wednesday: Handbags...






So I just couldn't resist joining in on the fun today over at The Seattle Smith's blog (http://www.kelseyandgabriel.blogspot.com/). She hosts a weekly topic called "Wishful Wednesday" and today's wish is:



'I wish' ... I could afford this _______ handbag without putting a dent in my pocketbook!


Now how could I resist right!? This is right up my ally!! :) ... The only problem is settling on just ONE expensive handbag!! So I'm gonna share my top 2... cause let's face it, if I'm wiping my bottom with $100 bills, I'm going all out!!...


1. The Hermes Birkin 35cm in Camel Crocodile ($65,000)-






{"Oh my Holy Handbag Heaven, Batman!!"}... Yes, that's right!... SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A HANDBAG!!... INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!... Birkins usually start around $5,000 and can go up as high as $100,000 depending on the material!! Plus there is at least a 2 year waiting list!

So what do you get for 65G's aside from a BEAUTIFUL handbag??? It comes with a special little pillow for your bag to sleep on made of one of a kind Hermes tissue paper (there's actually Hermes tissue paper craftsman that spend their entire lives folding tissue paper for Hermes bags!) & the bag comes with its own passport!- Seriously! LOL :)

I will probably never even get to be in the presence of this bag, much less own one... but a girl can dream right!?...




2. The Chanel Classic X-large Flap bag in black lambskin ($1,795)-




To me, this handbag is purse royalty! There is NOTHING more iconic or more ladylike than a black Chanel quilted handbag with chain straps- NOTHING!! It is the MOST CLASSIC purse someone will ever own!... So much so, that not a whole lot has changed since Coco Chanel started making them herself in 1955! This is the kind of bag that you hand down to your daughter & granddaughter... And hopefully one day I'll do just that!! ;)
