A collection of handbags, designer jewelry, and other luxury fashion accessories worth an estimated £1 million will go under the hammer in the United Kingdom tomorrow.
The goods belong to Muriel Hodgson, a former partner in the collapsed property investment company Challenor Property Developments. She spent up big on handbags from Hermes, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Judith Leiber, and Chanel, as well as diamonds from Cartier and Tiffany & Co. However it seems she overextended herself, as she was declared bankrupt when Challenor Property Developments failed. The collection will be auctioned off to pay her creditors.
I can’t imagine these goodies are easy to part with. Amongst them are the tan Hermes Birkin bag pictured, and Chanel and Louis Vuitton bags still with tags in original packaging. Can you imagine buying purses like that and never taking them out?
Understandably the auction has already received interest from luxury lovers around the world, including bidders in China, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Australia.
British fashionistas can bid on the goodies in person at the Brown & Co at the White Heather at Caenby Corner, Lincolnshire tomorrow at 7 pm BST. Everyone else can join in the fun online at the-saleroom.com.
