We have a strong affinity for vintage handbags, especially of the designer variety. And when it comes to the crème de la crème of luxury and one-of-a-kind heirlooms, no one has more impressive offerings than Christie’s. We tapped the iconic auction house to share some of the most expensive, lavish and unique accessories from both the archives and their upcoming December handbag event. Feast your eyes on these insane bags from Hermès, Chanel and more.
