$173,000
No shit. It's a silver Himalayan Birkin bag by Hermes and it was a Christmas present from her husband. If you haven't yet vomited your weetbix all over your keyboard while spluttering about the world financial crisis, you may be interested to know that was approximately one week's salary for Becks from his temporary employer AC Milan.
I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse but certainly no less vulgar. I can think of at least 173,000 better uses for that money than yet another pretentious handbag that Posh will carry no more than half a dozen times before retiring it for fear of Accessory- Overexposure.

There are only three of these bags in the world and Posh took hers for a spin when Becks debuted for AC Milan on the weekend in Dubai. It's studded with diamonds including a three-carat one on the lock.
The waiting list for a Hilmalayan like Victoria's has closed, with those already on it having to wait four years. So let's recap:
THERE ARE IDIOTS IN THE WORLD WHO WILL GO ON A FOUR YEAR WAITING LIST FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF PAYING $173,000 FOR A HANDBAG.

my mum sent me this, and I was appalled.
I'm at high school at the moment, but i'm still pretty oppinionated. I know it's Posh and Becks money. I know that it's not their responsibility to look after the starving kids in Africa. And if I had that much money, i would probably spend it on a bag from Hermes (but not one that tasteless)! But you have to prioritise. Do you care more about your handbag or kids my age starving to death in Africa and teenagers dyeing before they had the chance to really live just because they couldn't access safe drinking water? Once I'd given my money to help other people who are less fortunate, maybe then I'd buy the handbag.
My God, imagine how many hungry children she could have fed with that money. Simply repulsive.
