Diamond Encrusted Purses

Ginza Tanaka’s Purse

And the winner is… for the most expensive purse in the world to date is a unique bag created by Japanese jewelry house Ginza Tanaka. It’s a Diamond Studded Platinum Handbag—over 2,000 diamonds totaling 208 carats. The strap can be taken off and worn as a necklace or bracelet. It also features an eight carat pear-shaped diamond that can be worn separately as a brooch, how cool!! Some sites say it’s priced at $1.63 million, some says it’s priced at $1.9million. It doesn’t matter which price is correct. Did they really expect someone to actually use this bag?!
This doesn’t stop my quest for the world’s most expensive handbag. I’m pretty sure another designer bag might just dislodge Ginza Tanaka’s purse from being known as the world’s most expensive purse soon.

Lana Marks’ Cleopatra Clutch

If you think Leiber is already expensive, well, Lana Marks released its 2007 limited edition Cleopatra Clutch bag for $100,000. It’s made with metallic silver alligator skin and 1,500 fully cut, faceted black and white diamonds set in an 18-karat white gold frame. Each year’s bag is signed and numbered. These bags are so exclusive that Lana only allows one star per year to carry her handmade diamond studded designs down the crimson carpet, since 2004.

14K White Gold .75ct Diamond Purse Pendant On Cable Chain Necklace

This new Chanel Forever bag is definitely not the world’s most expensive purse, but is an expensive piece of arm candy. Remember the Louis Vuitton Miroir Palladium Gold Minaudiere Purse that retailed for a whopping $351,270? Or even better (err pricier) the $1.63 Million Platinum and Diamond Designer Purse. Although this bag without a doubt goes for more than your average classic Chanel bag. Ringing in at an astonishing $260,150 per pop this beauty is definitely an investment piece. Why? This sparkling piece contains 334 diamonds, gold hardware and a white alligator skin body. I'm sure if you are one of the lucky few who purchase this gem will never take it out of your safety deposit box or glass case. I sure wouldn’t.
