Judith Leiber Foo Dog Ming Minaudiere | Chinese Jewel Encrusted Evening Purse

49 sec read

Some say fashion should be fabulous, frivolous, and fun. Sure there’s a place for practicality, but if you want to really make a statement you need something as outrageous as this Judith Leiber minaudiere.

It’s carefully crafted to look like foo dog, one of the ancient Chinese pups resembling a guardian lion. His brilliantly colored body is studded with red rubies, green emeralds, purple amethysts, and clear and gold Swarovski crystals. His eyes are just as precious; they’re shiny black onyx stones.

As you can imagine, all those glittering gems don’t come cheap. You’re looking at a whopping $5495 to take this baby home. If you’re still on board, you may want to think about the storage space.

In short, there is none. Sure, it opens up to reveal a luxurious gold leather lined space, but what exactly are you going to put in it? The lumps and bumps of the dog shape make it virtually impossible to store even the essentials inside. You’ll need Tetris-inspired packing skills to carry even the coin purse, comb and swivel mirror it came with!

But if you can wear the price, and handle the inconvenience, you’re going to sparkle carrying this Judith Leiber cutie!
