Blogging on the Fly

Patchwork Purse

23AugustSuzanneRumblings, The Human Condition

Guess how much this Louis Vuitton purse is selling for. Guess higher. And the really crazy thing?Â At justÂ over $52,000, it’s by no means the most expensive purse out there, and has an embarrassing lack of diamonds.
