That's a lot of money, but far from the most expensive handbag ever sold. In July, Hermès' original Birkin bag - worn by Jane Birkin, herself - sold for $10.1 million, becoming the most valuable handbag ever sold at auction. The iconic purse went to a private collector in Japan, who phoned in and won a 10-minute bidding war. While items selling for millions, or even six figures, may be rare, the luxury resale market is booming.
Sweetlife, located at 1st Avenue and East 87th Street, is teaming up with the brand EUREKA to give their customers a chance to win a Hermes Birkin bag. From now through Christmas Eve, customers who sign up on www.sweetlife.nyc/signup will be entered into the drawing. Customers can also earn additional entries for every $100 spent on EUREKA products at Sweetlife. The winner will be chosen in a live drawing on Christmas Eve.
