    The most expensive handbags in Malaysia can be purchased in Tuaran

    May 24th, 2008

    These handbags do not even carry world-famous brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton or the like, yet they carry eye-popping pricetags. And they are located not in KLCC, Mid Valley or even Kota Kinabalu, but rather the small town of Tuaran.

    All the handbags cost at least RM4,000, including this one which cost a whopping RM30,888:

    Personally speaking, even if I had the money, it does not look very appealing.

    I’d much rather prefer this green one:

    Yes, of course I’m talking about the handbags and other accessories made of crocodile skin at Tuaran Crocodile Farm.

    Everthing made of crocodiles inside that shop (and the shop next to it) is freaking expensive, even this one foot long stuffed croc baby cost RM150:

    The cashier said they were made in Singapore. I should’ve asked another question: how many people have bought things from here so far? Possibly even less than the number of people who’ve heard of a Bugaboo stroller.

    That’s very ridiculous! Maybe there’s diamonds or gold.

    RM10 for locals if I remember correctly, half that for kids below 12. Btw, you dont need to pay the entrance fee if you just want to see the expensive bag for yourself, it’s located just outside the main entrance :-)

    I didnt ask in more detail but my guess is: perhaps the crocodile skins were brought into Singapore from another country, then Singaporean factories only turned them into bags and accessories, then exported out again.
