Rabanne Unveils World's Most Expensive Bag

Rabanne unveiled the world's most expensive bag, the 1969 Nano bag, during its spring 2025 runway show in Paris, priced at €250,000 (approximately $278,353). This unique bag, crafted from 18-karat gold and requiring 100 hours of work, pays homage to Françoise Hardy's iconic dress created in 1968, which consisted of 1,000 gold plaques and 300 carats of diamonds. The runway event featured other innovative accessories, including the 1969 Glass Bag and 1969 Ceramic Bag, showcasing Rabanne's legacy of using unconventional materials. Creative director Julien Dossena highlighted the brand's avant-garde history, originating with its 1966 collection of 'unwearable dresses'. The show attracted celebrity attention, including Cardi B and Gigi Hadid, further emphasizing the brand's modern revival. Rabanne, now owned by Puig, continues to push boundaries in luxury fashion with its artistic collaborations.
