14 DAY TRIAL // Whereas £80,000 is more money than most of us make in a year, for the Beckhams, that’s just the cost for Victoria’s latest whim. Posh has never been famous for her lack of extravagance, and David’s Christmas present, which she just showed off the other day on her way to the airport, shows, once again, that she is a woman of the most expensive taste.
The silver bag, featuring a three-carat diamond on the lock, but also smaller ones on the framing belt, is one of three existing in the world, and getting it for Victoria was no walk in the park for David, who had to fork up a week’s pay at AC Milan to buy it. It was money well spent though, one source tells the British The Sun, who vouches that Posh is “delighted” with the bag, for which reason she has already introduced it to the world as she was preparing to fly to Dubai to support David in his debut match with the club.
Buying Victoria presents can be one of the toughest things David has ever done, another insider tells the same tab. “It's not as easy as everyone would think for David buying his wife a present every year, she is the woman with everything.” the spy says, speaking of the “ordeal” the footballer has to go through with each special occasion. Nevertheless, “David knows the French fashion house is her favorite and he sorted the gift in Los Angeles from one of the few powerful fashion buyers who could get one.” the source adds.
Aside from being extremely expensive – and the public opinion has it that even that is an understatement seeing how this is, at the end of the day, just a bag – the Birkin present Victoria got is also very sought after. Since only a few of these totes are made every other year, it is said that the waiting list for one can span four years. In this case, clearly, Victoria is one lucky woman.
