3.8 million dollar bag anyone?

Ok so I am a major bag lover, with my every day Oliver Bonas being my new favourite, but I already have my eyes on yet another brown Fiorelli that looks like every other bag I own. However I just saw March's issue of Time magazine where I was blown away by the latest over extravagant and completely useless accessory.

"1001 Nights Diamond Purse", valued at $3.8 million. This heart shaped bag has 4,500 diamonds, of which 105 are yellow, 56 are pink and 4,356 are colourless, the total weight is a whopping 381 carats. It was made by 10 artisans from the Dubai based designer, House of Mouawad which has been around since 1890. Now tell me something, this bag that apart from being bloody ugly would be impossible to actually use, not to mention a complete risk against your life. Please bring me something, leather smelling and big enough to fit like 200 objects of my everyday crap in and I am good.
