An Asian collector has paid the equivalent of nearly $400,000 Canadian for a matte white Diamond Himalaya Niloticus crocodile diamond Birkin 30 with 18K white gold and diamond hardware by Hermes at Christie’s Hong Kong Monday. It is the most expensive handbag ever sold according to news sources. The posh purse crafted from pale Himalayan crocodile leather and encrusted with 245 diamonds was originally produced in 2008 and sold in 2009, and remains one of the rarest and most desirable bags in the world.
