Where Craft Becomes Legacy.
When all eyes are on Paris, the language of true luxury is whispered, not shouted.
This week in Paris Fashion, Jeff Bezos’s wife, Lauren Sánchez, was spotted leaving the Ritz Hotel with one of the rarest Hermès handbags ever made — a Kelly “Midas” bag (named after King Midas), which is encased in glossy crocodile skin and has an 18K gold handle. This style, an instantly iconic one (the diamond-encrusted version is now a collector’s grail), demonstrated that high jewellery handbagry had arrived.
It was a moment that epitomized what ARTBURO™ has long envisaged — when a Hermès bag goes beyond its original shape and function, and itself becomes a piece of jewel.
When the wife of Asia’s richest man, Nita Ambani, wears a bag worth $300.000, the media goes into a frenzy. Nita Ambani, the wife of Mukesh Ambani, who is chair of Reliance Foundation, was seen carrying a Hermès Himalayan Birkin Bag in London.
According to Christie’s Luxury Objects department: “This exceptional, matte white Himalaya Niloticus crocodile diamond Birkin 25 with 18-karat white gold ‘hardware’ is the most desirable handbag in the world.” 240 diamonds are inlaid on its 18-karat gold hardware. On its 18-karat gold hardware are 240 diamonds. The image was shared online by actress Karishma Kapoor.
According to Christie’s, the Himalaya Birkin is crafted from Nile crocodile hide, and despite its name, the mention of Himalaya refers to the gradation of color, not to its comment. However, Nita Ambani was hit with a great deal of backlash due to her choice in bag.
This Birkin certainly caused controversial opinions online. The majority of people expressed anger over animals being killed for the sake of handbags, while others felt very disappointed that such a large sum could have been used for better causes in their view.
Kim Kardashian is bringing high-end style to the world of soccer.
SKIMS founder, 42, brought an Hermès Birkin bag worth over $180,000 to the match between Al-Nassr and Paris Saint-Germain in Osaka, Japan.
Kardashian’s purse looks very alike in style to the most expensive handbag sold at auction in 2014—a matte white Diamond Himalaya Niloticus crocodile Birkin 30 with 18k white gold and diamond hardware. The designer item was purchased for $300,168. The rare bags can fetch anywhere from $200,000 to $600,000, depending on the condition and the rarity of the crocodile print.
The Ultimate Gift: When Rarity Becomes Love’s Language
What can you give to the woman who already has everything?
If you’re David Beckham — the world’s rarest Hermès bag.
David Beckham once gifted his wife Victoria Beckham an Albino Nilo Crocodile Himalayan Birkin, valued around $200,000 — a bag so rare, it’s considered the holy grail of Hermès collectors.
Even among her 100+ Hermès bags, this piece stands apart — not just for its price, but for its symbolism.
In the world of true collectors, such creations transcend fashion; they become artworks, investments, and tokens of devotion.
For David, it wasn’t a gift — it was a language of love spoken through rarity.

This isn’t just a financial headline — it’s a cultural signal: luxury, rarity, and precious metals have re-entered the spotlight. For ARTBURO™, it underlines that the materials we work with — gold, platinum, diamonds — are not only symbols, but assets whose value is ascending in real time.
