Victoria Beckham and her $104,000 bag!
For $104,000 you could buy a one-bedroom flat in Victoria Beckham’s home town of Harlow in Essex and still have $13,000 left over.
But for fashionista Victoria that is simply the cost of her newest handbag – a designer Birkin bag studded with hundreds of diamonds.
The silver Himalayan was Victoria’s Christmas present from husband David and cost the footballer nearly a week’s worth of his wages at AC Milan.
As the rest of the world draws in its belts and tries to ride out the recession it appears that the Beckham’s are feeling more extravagant than ever.
Victoria showed off her new piece of kit, one of only three in the world, as Beckham made his debut for the club in Dubai.
The 34-year-old former Spice Girl is said to be ‘delighted’ with the bag, which features a three-carat diamond on the lock.
A source told The Sun: ‘It’s not as easy as everyone would think for David buying his wife a present every year, she is the woman with everything.’
‘But David knows the French fashion house is her favourite and he sorted the gift in Los Angeles from one of the few powerful fashion buyers who could get one.’
The waiting list for a Hilmalayan like Victoria’s has closed, with those already on it having to wait four years.
Here’s a closeup! (Look at those diamonds!)

All I can think of are third world children with mismatched shoes,swollen bellies,dirty snotty faces,and flies that won’t leave their little faces alone.
This is disgraceful…That purse should be cursed!

What do you expect from a pretentious douche bag couple like the Beckhams? I wish they had stayed on their side of the pond. Guess they didn’t want them either.
