If you thought a Birkin was expensive…Hermès create £1.2million diamond-studded handbag

Costing in excess of £10,000, the Hermès Birkin handbag is reserved for the super rich.
But now, the French retailer has unveiled four new designs, each priced at an eye-watering £1.2 million (€1.5 million).
The miniature totes, which are crafted from gold and studded with thousands of precious stones, double up as high jewellery.
Significantly smaller than the popular leather versions, they are designed to be worn as a bracelet, with the handbag strap resting on the wrist.
The main compartment - which isn't big enough to hold a pair of sunglasses - then dangles below, so it can be held in the wearer's hand.
And when questioned about who would buy the pricey pieces he added: 'I have no idea. But maybe they will have two bodyguards!'
It took accessories designer Pierre Hardy, two years to produce the intricate creations.
Hermès was established in 1837, originally making harnesses for horses.
