expensive bags ever designed. This luxurious handbag is worth....wait
for it... 1.9 million. The bag, fit for a queen, is made from both gold
and diamonds.

This bag looks unassuming at first glance but the price tag tells a
different story. The straps resemble that of a belt buckle and the wide
opening make for easy access to the contents we typically keep in a
purse. Rhianna has been known to carry this purse around.

Feel like the Queen of Egypt when you carry around Lana Mark's Cleopatra
Bag worth $250,000. Only one of these purses is created every year by
Lana Mark's. One actress is selected each year to carry Mark's designs
to the red carpet.
#5
LV Urban Satchel bag
The famous Italian designer did it again. He created the most well, um,
interesting purse we've seen yet. You'd think the handbag isn't worth
much because of the contents of the design including cigarettes, tea
bags and old candy wrappers. Ok, now for the price, $150,000.

multicolored prescription pills. The bag retails at $55,000.

Tribute Patchwork Bag
The Louis Vuitton Tribute patchwork Bag looks humble enough to wear
every day. The price tag, however, tells a different story. You can pick
up this bag, or a variation of it, for around $42,000.
#10
Fendi Selleria Bag
The Fendi Selleria Bag looks casual enough to us. We can imagine
carrying it to brunch with our girlfriends. Once we learned the price,
however, we worried it might get stolen. The $38,000 price tag would
make us very nervous.

Marc Jacob's Carolyn Crocodile Bag
You gotta hand it to Marc Jacob's. The man sure does know how to make a
handbag. He outdid himself with the Carolyn Crocodile Bag, worth
$38,000.
#12
The Gadino Bag
Norwegian, Hilde Palladino, designed the Gadino Bag worth $38,470.

Part of what makes the Gadino so extraordinary is how ordinary it looks
upon first glance.

set of handbags....$15,000.
#14
Prada's Frame Bag
We couldn't round out a collection of the world's most expensive purses
without adding one from the well-known icon, Prada. The tasteful black
bag is worth a whopping $15,090. Maybe we'll stick to a pair of shoes
instead...
