Handbags

This sounds like it would be a scene right from the book by Kevin Kwan - Crazy Rich Asians. I can imagine that this Birkin bag would be a status symbol so that some wealthy lady could impress her social circle as to how rich she or her family is.

     Wow!! I can think of a lot better things to do with $382,000!! Like maybe feed the hungry, set up a free clinic, send a few kids to college etc.

The thing is.... the ones who can afford a luxury such as this probably DO feed the hungry, DO set up free clinics as well as spring for college scholarships..... 

It is a lovely looking bag but I'd rather have a house... lol!

 @Q4u In a perfect world I would agree with you.Not all rich people are charitable.They don’t all care about those less fortunate than themselves.

@NicksmomESQ

Many don’t KNOW about those less fortunate than themselves, OR where they live.

I’m sure there’s a bag somewhere that’s similar and cost effective... I don’t care for stiff, structured bags so I wouldn’t carry it-

@handygal2,

H bags are manufactured by artisans, you get what you pay for, and they are immortal quite an investment for some fans.

Furthermore every time that I go to Paris there is a huge line of Asian ladies waiting just before 10am. Not every bag is made with the same kind of leader and not all are that expensive either. There are also consignment shops🌻

Where I live that amount would buy a gorgeous home. The expensive bag that I have always wanted was a Chanel Bag, will probably never buy one though......

Do you know for a certainty that crocodiles are skinned alive?  If you do, please post your source.  I have crocodile shoes and I surely would hate to think that was so.  If that is how crocodile products are made, we need to find a way to make that known and get an organization lilke PETA, etc. involved to increase public awareness and attempt to stop this barbaric practice.
