Celebrities Who Abuse the $50k Bag
It would be shocking to purchase a $50,000 handbag in good economic times, so imagine how hard our jaws hit the floor when we saw how these celebrities have been treating their Hermes Birkin bags during the recession. While the rest of the world is clipping coupons, see which celebs have been treating their uber fancy French tote as if it were a $20 knock off.
An Hermes Birkin Bag isn't just a purse, it's a lifestyle.

Lady Gaga graffitied one of hers on a trip to Japan, while Kim Kardashian, Marc Jacobs, and Lindsay Lohan bring a Birkin where no Birkin should ever be.

Kim gets gussied up for basketball games, but if you can manage to see passed her over-the-knee suede boots and shawl that 12 Muppets had to die for, you will notice another one of Kim's many Birkins nestled gently on the floor of a basketball court, getting kicked by her publicist's sneakers. Considering that handbag costs more than courtside Lakers tickets, may we suggest springing for its chair next time.
