An exclusive Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork handbag, one of only 24 in the world and 5 in North America (we know Beyonce has one), is on its way to Washington by the end of the season for a very special, unnamed, client. We here at Luxist first covered the Tribute Patchwork back in March, and since then it's been making quite the name for itself. As one of the most expensive handbags in the world, the Tribute Patchwork has become this summer's ultimate status bag. Priced at $52,500 and made from best parts of 14 other LV bags, it easily overshadows the competition in originality, style, and class.

If all of you (except those supporting Beyonce) donated about $220.00 you would have the 52K to feed the poor, house the homeless, cure the sick and save the animals, at least for a few hours, but I'm assuming you'd all rather just bitch about it than do something yourselves...just like me.

Louis Vuitton is laughing all the way to the bank,
old saying is true...one fool born every minute,
and he found her.........that thing is FULGY!

It's amazing how so many people are stating what others should do with their money. If all of you who are crying donate to charity, donate to this, donate to that were actually putting your money there, maybe there would not be so many issues...Since you all feel the right to tell others what to do with their money, where is your name on my birth certificate? Last I checked, I work for it, I donate it, and I give to those less fortunate. I also pay my own insurance, bills and the medical bills for my child who was born very sick. If I want to purchase a bag that costs more than most peoples mortgages each month, well last I checked, it would be mine to spend! I personally would not purchase a $52,000 LV if I had the opportunity, but would and definitely have purchased many other authentic Louis Vuitton bags! To those who think it is ok to purchase of the black market, remember our American Soldiers who are fighting for your freedom while you support terrorist organizations with the piece of plastic you had to purchase to be better than Betty Lou in your trailer park! Yes, terrorists due benefit from the sale of illegal items, and yes it is illegal to purchase or sell counterfeit merchandise!!! Don't believe me, just look it up on this lovely little internet that you obviously know how to use!!

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder but the fact that can't be disputed is the vulgarity of spending that much money on soemthing like that. Beyonce is talented and very lucky, too bad all the handbags in the world will not give her the class to understand how offensive that is.

I suppose that $52,500 for that purse would be OK if $52,450 of it were going to charity. Those poor people who are buying these things. Honestly, if brains were dynamite, they obviously would be lacking sufficient firepower to effectively blow their noses! The fine folks in China will have an excellent $50 "knock-off" available in let's see -- about 20 minutes. You should have waited.

This is CRAZY!! what is wrong with the people who bought this bag. Comeon, give me a break!! A simple $5 dollar bag from Walmart can be looking much more sophisticated than this one.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CRAZY, JUST A NUT BAR!!!, AND THE RETAILERS EAT IT ALL UP LIKE CANDY! and don't forget the fakes, lol

What a sad testimonial to the warped values of our country. Celebrities - actors, singers, athletes make obscene amounts of money and waste it on garbage like this handbag. $52,000 is more than most teachers, police officers, nurses and firefighters make in this country and Beyonce spends that much for a purse. Disgusting.

This ia a sad day in American Black kids getting killed ,and Homeless people poor education kids on drugs and all we can talk about is a Dam purse that she does not need shAME ON YOU WHEN YOU COULD DO SO MUCH MORE WITH YOUR MONEY AND ALL THE OTHERS .

I worked in the garment industry. Our company had a seamstress dedicated to sewing in labels. She sewed a Gap label and a Saks 5th Ave. label into the same damn shirt, made by the same company. The Gap shirt retailed for $25 and the Saks shirt sold for $200. Get a clue people. Only haute couture is made by hand. And even if this bag is made "better" than a bag I can get at Sears or Target, it still isn't worth $52,000. I personally feel it's more than okay to buy knock offs. I don't want to support these ego bloated designers and the idiots who make it possible for them to charge these insane prices but even a cheap knock off adds to their fame right? "Hey, someone knocked off my design - I didn't get any money for it but I got my name spread around for free."

Louis Vuitton is definitely a hot brand of handbags and accessories but I really prefer Chanel and this article just adds to my views I am not much feeling the styles, I really would prefer to have a Chanel or even a Chloe it would even cost me less.
