When it comes to handbags, I buck the trend. Unlike most women, I would rather never have to carry one. When I do, it’s the smallest I can get away with. That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate them as a great accessory for anyone else. Some women are prepared to invest heavily in a handbag but there are very few that can afford the most expensive handbags in the world. Ready for some jaw dropping handbags?
