Trick or treat..!

Fall colors, falling leaves, and Halloween being just around the corner reminded me of the limited edition 2012 Louis Vuitton Jewel Bag Pumpkin Minaudière by Yayoi Kusama which retails at $133,430. This precious piece is one of the ten most expensive purses in the world. The Kusama Pumpkin Minaudière has been artistically shaped in Kusama’s famous trademark pumpkin motif.With only five examples, the exquisite handcrafted bag whose inspiration originated from the 1930s France small-sized statement evening bags first introduced by jewelers, is masterly formed out of black resin, pure gold, and finest metal in the world.

Available to order through the Louis Vuitton concession at Selfridges.

Aaaaaaah If I can afford to write out such a hefty cheque for a purse.. *sighhhhhh*

Now for something equally special yet more affordable. Neiman Marcus Silver "Pumpkin" Clutch/Shoulder Bag, Circa 1980 retails at $495.

This vintage silver "pumpkin" clutch by Nieman Marcus is from the 1980's. The clutch has a gold stem and a gold link 15" chain strap, one main compartment, and a snap shut closure. A true collectors item, adds a fun interesting factor to fall wardrobe.
