“This one is the sleeper, we think,” says Sunny Skurow, a luxury expert at Heritage Auctions, standing before a glittering vitrine and referring to #56126, a shiny black rigid crocodile Hermès Kelly with gold hardware from the 1960s that is estimated to sell for between $10,000 and $15,000, with an opening bid of $7,500. This is the first sentence in a recent article in Vogue about a spring luxury auction of handbags.
I like purses but, wow. I think I missed the high-end luxury purse gene. Every now and then I go for something unique and perhaps costs a little more than I would normally care to spend but I have a rule. The rule is that I can't purchase a purse unless I know I'll be able to carry that amount of cash in the purse. I admire nice purses and the people who have them but I'm equally happy with my more expensive purchases as I am with my recent $1.99 Goodwill find.
Do you have a price limit whey buying a purse or is the sky the limit?
