Just in time for holiday shopping - for an incredibly small selection of uber-wealthy customers - Louis Vuitton has unveiled its most expensive handbag of the moment: a $55,000 alligator skin purse.
More expensive than a new Mercedes and costlier than a cruise around the world, the City Steamer features genuine alligator skin, cowhide lining, an engraved padlock, a nametag, and a hot-stamped LV Circle.
The nude-colored number can be carried in hand, over the shoulder, or cross-body, and has 'ample room for papers and files' - and stacks and stacks of money, naturally.
Of course, the French design house is hardly the only one to offer exclusive accessories inaccessible to the masses - or even most of the upper class, for that matter.
Several other designers are also selling bags that cost five figures this season, though it's unknown how many of the swanky satchels and totes they actually manage to sell.
Hermes's Birkin bags have always been pricey, but their alligator and crocodile skin versions can cost upwards of $100,000.
