Philip Treacy Handbag: $317,000
John Richard was a man who loved to hunt for cool stuff at thrift stores and garage sales. He loved to find good stuff in the most unimaginable place. So at Oxfam, which is a British thrift store, he stumbled upon a very interesting item. There was a high-quality purse that had remained hidden in an old dusty box at the store. He decided to take the bag as it fit his personality so much. He then bought the purse for just £20 ($32) which he haggled the price. When the cashier would not reduce the price of the bag, he decided to take it anyway and so he bought it. Richard then brought the bag to a Philip Treacy store where he could confirm the origin of his newly bought bag. Indeed it was an authentic piece of the world-renowned milliner, Philip Treacy. It was handstitched and created by none other than Andy Warhol and was valued at £200,000 ($317,000).
