When it comes to handbag investment, count on the Birkin to increase in value. Hard to purchase, exquisitely crafted, and coveted by the well-heeled, it can command stratospheric prices at auctions. Last year, a buyer forked out US$379,261 for a matte white Himalaya Niloticus crocodile Birkin 30 at a Christie’s auction in Hong Kong, making it the most expensive handbag sold at such events. The price of a new Birkin ranges from US$10,000 to US$150,000.
The Constance’s modern design complements scarce leathers such as that from water snake and ombre lizard. Blue ocean veau doblis and malachite swift leather, 24cm with gold hardware. Starting price US$6,250
