The world’s most expensive handbag
The world’s most expensive handbag was unveiled by Rabanne at Paris Fashion Week during the Spring/Summer 2025 show, marking a standout moment of the event.
Made of 18-karat Gold
This bag, priced at nearly $280,000 (around €250,000), is crafted entirely from 18-karat solid gold. It is a modern reinterpretation of the brand’s iconic 1969 Nano Bag, inspired by Paco Rabanne’s signature metal disc designs, which were famously worn by French singer and actress Françoise Hardy.
Not only is the bag noteworthy for its material value, but it also carries historical significance. It pays homage to the world’s most expensive dress, created by Rabanne for Hardy in 1968, made of gold plates and diamonds. This new piece serves as a modern tribute to that legacy, reimagined under the futuristic and avant-garde direction of Julien Dossena
The debut of this handbag became the highlight of the show, reaffirming Rabanne’s ability to blend fashion history with contemporary opulence, positioning the brand at the pinnacle of extreme luxury.
