-Knock, knock.
-Who’s there?
-Hermès, again.
-Hermès who?
-Her-mess up your savings account.
Ok, the joke’s not funny, but it’s all I could come up with, and it does make a valid point. Is this what you would buy with that kind of money? Personally, I’d go for something more down-to-Earth, like a house, college, charity, or a couple of ponies.
Still, however silly it might seem to deposit 432,000 dollars on a croc skin, white gold, and diamonds bag, if you think about it might even be a good investment. For the next 10 years, it will bring no significant profit, since it could only be sold as “used”. Nevertheless, if you can handle your fashionista impulses, put it away, and keep it in mint condition until the year 2040, you could probably sell it as a vintage relic for twice its actual price. And now, let’s see what else we have on our list of most expensive designer handbags in the world in 2016.
