Earlier this week, a world record was broken by the iconic Hermès Birkin bag. A patent red crocodile-skin Birkin was sold at auction in Dallas, Texas for over $200,000 –the most ever paid for a handbag at public auction!
The bag features 18k white gold detailing, which is encrusted with diamonds. It’s official title is ‘Hermès Exceptional Collection Shiny Rouge H Porosus Crocodile 30cm Birkin Bag with Solid 18k White Gold & Diamond Hardware’.
It was bought by an anonymous collector, who forked out an amazing $203,150, exceeding all estimates and expectations of the auction house! Someone might be getting a very special Christmas present this year…
