Vogue UKreports that Christie's is auctioning off dozens of rare Hermes bags on Wednesday. Pat Frost, head of textiles at Christie's, told Vogue, "We are expecting people to bid way over the asking price. There is a massive waiting list for several of the styles featuring in the auction - it's an easy way of jumping the queue but at a premium."
The auction, Jewels at South Kensington including Fine Hermes Handbags, will include 78 Hermes bags. You can see the list here. The priciest handbag (pictured above) is a Matte Paille Alligator Birkin Bag, which is expected to sell for between $47,872 and $56,848.
