Got an extra $157,000 lying around? I’m guessing that the answer is a definite no for most people, yet so many luxury labels keep offering up ridiculously expensive products for shoppers regardless of the knowledge that the industry is struggling.
Well, at least Mulberry has gotten the idea of producing a moderately-priced handbag for budget-conscious gals. However, Bottega Veneta seems to be targeting a very small margin of the population with one of their items. The brand now has a luggage set that retails right around that oh-so-unattainable $157k range.
Each piece is finished in a rich brown alligator skin leather, which must be like lemon juice on a paper cut for PETA. The luxe six-piece set ranges in individual pricing from $23,500 to $47,500. With metal hardware and reinforced corners, this Bottega Veneta luggage seems very vintage, as if it came straight out of an old 1950s Cary Grant film like To Catch a Thief.
That seems appropriate since jewel thief is the kind of job title you’d need in order to afford this luggage. From the sturdy looks of it, you’ll need a slew of attendants to carry the set as well. It’s certainly not the most practical of purchases, but Bottega Veneta sure does know how to make a stylish bag.
