Hi guys it's been a while since I've posted but I've been lurking and it's been great fun reading the posts (almost better than reading W magazine, my fave )

Anyway here's an article I came across in a Jewelers trade magazine hoped they had the awesome picture of this bag online but, oh well. The picture in the trade magazine is a pink ostritch leather handbag. KAYUUUTE! They don't say how much it costs:

Diamonds: They're Not Just for Jewelry Anymore
By Carrie Soucy, Senior Editor
JCK-Jewelers Circular Keystone -- 4/1/2004


Antwerp-based diamond manufacturer Dali Diamond is bringing diamonds to the next level of fashionability, using them to adorn leather handbags. The newly unveiled "Diamond Delvaux" is a limited-edition high-end luxury handbag designed and crafted by the Delvaux leatherwear company. Each bag is highlighted by a .50-ct. diamond, manufactured according to Dali's WebCut design.

The Diamond Delvaux made its debut at the International Jewellery Tokyo show in Japan, where a bag was presented to Japanese movie star Maki Mizuno. It represented the first step in a worldwide marketing campaign by Dali to raise awareness of the WebCut diamond, a 48-facet diamond cut inspired by spider webs.

The Diamond Delvaux series has been limited to 100 pieces, each of which is numbered and certified. Created from ostrich leather, the bags are handmade in Delvaux's workshop.

[nuiko]

probably like $50,000 since it has diamonds.

 

[nuiko]

oh wait...each bag only has one diamond on it?
i really want to see this

...these still more than likely cost several thousand...and, there is only 100 made?

Theda bag (right) from the 2004 spring-summer collection that will command a five-digit sum - $10,900 for normal leather and $32,000 for alligator leather.

love that lv...
i liked this one (from the same collection) more, though:

i wanted it so!
...however the pricetag was completely unjustifyable at just about $11,000.

this one, and the one posted by nuiko, were from spring couture collection, weren't they

I guess the chain handle is where most of the cost comes in (it's made of tiny ball bearings woven all together in a chain).
