The Black Nouveau

So the last time I checked, the current economical crisis that is effecting our nation is called a “Recession”. Now jump over the pond to London, you have Mrs Victoria Beckham, single handily boosting the world’s economy with her over the top shopping sprees. She was recently spotted carrying around one of the most coveted bags in the world, the Hermès Himalayan Birkin.

For all you Birkin lovers out there, you know that base price for the 30cm Kelly Birkin is around the $4,000 range.  But if your Victoria Beckham you don’t want the “common” Birkin, you want the $120,000 diamond studded Hermès Himalayan Birkin. There are only 2 bags in existence, with the waiting list closed for the next 4 years. It is Crafted from silver crocodile skin, and features a 3 carat diamond on the lock, and 2 carats worth of diamonds on the straps, according to the Forbes Magazine Most Extravagant Handbag List.
