Critics have called this interesting bag ‘the most hideous bag ever’ but style icons, Rihanna and Beyoncé beg to differ! The bag was designed by Marc Jacobs in 2007 and consists of an amalgamation of 15 other Louis Vuitton handbags, cut up and combined into patchwork perfection.

Additionally, the brand only ever released 24 bags – which explains its hefty price tag. Rare handbags with expensive materials often price higher than the average tote you find at Louis Vuitton stores. Currently, this bag is valued at $45,800 (R733 243)!

Because the two dozen purses sold so quickly, the only way to get one now is to pay even more for the purse at auction, private sale or through second-hand retailers like Luxity!

4) Crocodile Lady Bag PM $54,500

This handbag is definitely chic, but it’s not particularly remarkable in its design. There are no Louis Vuitton logos covering its exterior, either. The Crocodile Lady Bag PM is an iteration of the Lady Bag PM and what makes it so costly is the fact that it’s covered in exotic crocodile leather. If you opt to forgo the croc skin, however, you can get the bag for many thousands of dollars less.

Louis Vuitton emphasized the silhouette of the bag when it debuted, saying that it was one that the brand had never used before. However, the purse-loving portion of the public had seen the profile of the Crocodile Lady Bag PM in bags from other brands. Still, when Louis Vuitton comes out with a new model fashion aficionados tend to stand up and pay attention, so the handbag had no problem selling.

3) Coquille d’Oeuf Minaudiere $101,000

Albeit small, this little Louis Vuitton purse carries a hefty price tag at $101,000 (R1 597 304,89) and it’s not difficult to see why. The Coquille d’Oeuf Minaudiere handbag is a piece of art. Its beautiful cream colour comes from 12,500 small pieces of eggshell, expertly placed to form an exquisite mosaic. Although this exclusive purse is not made of expensive material, it’s the fact that the Coquille d’Oeuf Minaudiere took over 600 hours to make which warrants its high price tag.

2) Kusama Pumpkin Minaudiere Jewel Bag $133,400

Of all 5 handbags in this list, the Kusama Pumpkin Minaudiere Jewel bag is the most luxurious looking in our opinion – and many consider it to be the holy grail of Louis Vuitton handbags. Only 5 of this gold, black resin and fine metal beauties were made.

Designer Yayoi Kusama was inspired by the 1930s small evening bags and the handbag is covered in Kusama’s trademark polka dots. The special edition Pumpkin Minaudiere was sold in store for €110,000, although collectors might pay even more for it today!

1) The Urban Satchel $150,000

Although the Louis Vuitton Urban Satchel does resemble the patchwork bag, it received even more criticism. Why? Because let’s be honest, it looks like the inside of a bin! Which is not far off, because the Urban Satchel is made of recycled items such as water bottles, cigarette packs and chewing gum wrappers along with the world’s finest Italian leather. However, we love that the Urban Satchel bag is handcrafted to represent urban life and sustainability.
