In this high-tech world, it’s amazing to realize that man landed on the moon just 30 years ago. Kathrine Baumann created this Buzz Aldrin Millenium Purse to commemorate the anniversary.
One side of the flag shaped purse proudly shows the American stars and stripes, while the other has an image of Buzz standing triumphantly on the moon. Both images combine to make a purse that’s fiercely patriotic. The sparkling Swarovski crystals give it a glamorous finish, but all that red, white, and blue won’t suit every evening affair.
Minaudieres always have limitations and this one is no exception. It’s certainly small, and its hard case rules out overstuffing. There is no shoulder strap either, so you’re left to hold this purse by hand. Personally if it’s spending that much time in your palm, I’d worry about the crystals coming away, but time will tell.
For me the real kicker is the price. At a whopping $6250 this is a real investment piece. And personally at this price it’s not an investment I’d want to make. With just 100 created, I suppose its exclusivity helps to justify some of that cost, but this minaudiere still seems very expensive.
