There is no other signature brand for handbags that I like more seeing this year but that of Gucci’s. Most of their runway bags this 2010 are exuding in modern glamor and sexuality.

This year’s set of Gucci handbags are luxurious in style and completely more detailed. Majority of the collection was with a G logo that is interlocking and heavy on ostrich. The best thing about this new fall designs is the slightly curved lines that work well with the brand’s elegance.

If you think that funny and interesting shapes are made to be applied for custom cakes, then you might be interested to discover that Judith Leiber is an expert handbag brand that is capable of making clutches after animal shapes. A rabbit for this case.

From their previous designs, they have already come up with an elephant, a camel, a jaguar and even a peacock. Now, their latest comes with the shape of a rabbit. This design is considered the most wearable of all that they have created. This is due to a variety of reasons.

First is that its oval shape makes it look like an ordinary yet elegant bag adorned with a lot of crystals. Colors of silver and baby pink will match any occasion. So if you are a fan of Judith Leiber for their signature animal bags, then this option would surely interest you as well. It comes with an optional strap as well.

GInza Tanaka's Purse- $1.9M

And the winner is… for the most expensive purse in the world to date is a unique bag created by Japanese jewelry house Ginza Tanaka. It’s a Diamond Studded Platinum Handbag—over 2,000 diamonds totaling 208 carats. The strap can be taken off and worn as a necklace or bracelet. It also features an eight carat pear-shaped diamond that can be worn separately as a brooch, how cool!! Some sites say it’s priced at $1.63 million, some says it’s priced at $1.9million. It doesn’t matter which price is correct. Did they really expect someone to actually use this bag?!

This doesn’t stop my quest for the world’s most expensive handbag. I’m pretty sure another designer bag might just dislodge Ginza Tanaka’s purse from being known as the world’s most expensive purse soon.
