Pictures of Reliance Foundation chairperson Nita Ambani's over 200-diamonds-encrusted Hermès Himalaya Birkin bag, worth over INR2.6 crore, have gone viral on the social media.
In the images posted on the social media, Nita is seen wearing a white ensemble and carrying the Hermès bag. Bollywood divas Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan are also seen in the photograph, taken in London this week, reported Business Standard.
According to christies.com, Hermès Himalaya Birkin Bag is considered the 'Holy Grail in a Handbag' collection. It has more than 240 diamonds on its 18-karat-gold hardware.
Back in 2017, the white Himalaya crocodile diamond style bag fetched $379,261 at an auction at Christie's. With the deal, it became the most expensive bag ever sold.
The auction house had described the bag as "an exceptional, matte white Himalaya Niloticus crocodile diamond Birkin." It is crafted from Nile crocodile hide and the mention of Himalaya does not apply to the origin of the bag but to the gradation of the colour.
Named after the actor and singer Jane Birkin, the bags are famous for their price tags and celebrity owners.
