A collection of designer handbags owned by the late Elizabeth Taylor will be auctioned through Christie’s from December 13 to 16. Purses from Hermes, Balenciaga, Chanel, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, and Christian Dior are amongst the accessories on offer.
A different group of luxury purses will go under the hammer at Rockefeller Center each day during the auction period. There are also a number of items available for bidding through the Christie’s website. Interested parties can bid from today until December 17 on these online exclusives which include purses, fine and costume jewelry, apparel, ornaments, and other memorabilia owned by the Hollywood icon.
Those big fashion names are alluring enough, especially knowing that they once belonged to the alluring actress. But then when we consider The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor features many vintage purses, limited edition accessories, and one-of-a-kind handbags, it’s even more tempting. Given that, it’s probably unsurprising that these bags are expected to sell for well over their original retail values.
Browsing through the items available through the Christie’s website is seriously tempting me. It seems unfair to put all these items on show just before Christmas. Perhaps I need to drop a few hints to my nearest and dearest to ensure I find one of these designer purses underneath my tree!
