Kathrine Baumann’s marking the recent 100-year anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking with this faithfully recreated minaudiere. Her fans might note she premiered the same purse when James Cameron’s epic historical romance swept the Oscars in 1998. With the milestone celebrations in full swing, it seemed the perfect time to bring the ship back.
Some 15, 000 Swarovski crystals have been painstakingly applied to this ship-shaped purse to ensure it looks like the world’s most famous cruise liner. Its glittering smokestakes are encrusted with 24-karat gold aurum stones coated in real gold. Its tuckaway shoulder chain its also dipped in more of that real gold. How indulgent!
This purse should also prove much sturdier than that ship! I can’t imagine it’ll encounter any icebergs, but Kathrine Baumann offers some extra crystals should any flake from the purse’s surface.
The price of this Titanic purse is truly staggering, a whopping $100, 000. No, I didn’t accidentally add an extra zero when transcribing the price. This purse costs an astronomical one hundred, thousand smackeroos. Can any fashion accessory, no matter how luxurious, ever warrant such an exorbitant bottom line?
