Tiny purse, huge price tag.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are back in Europe, and the Amazon billionaire’s new bride is definitely dressing the part.
Sánchez was spotted at the famed Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes Sunday, dressed in a vintage open-back Roberto Cavalli gown in bold shades of blue, yellow and hot pink.
The haute couture-loving helicopter pilot accessorized with high-heeled Aquazzura sandals and a rare Dior mini bag worth six figures.
Her petite, all-over-beaded Lady Dior Micro purse features the luxury brand’s “Rêve d’Infini” (“Dream of Infinity”) motif by artist Pietro Ruffo, which is based on a compass rose mosaic from Christian Dior’s childhood home in Granville, France.
While the limited-edition style is no longer available to purchase at Dior boutiques, it originally retailed for over $15,000 and came housed in a matching trunk adorned with the same artwork, making it a true collector’s item.
Of course, Sánchez is no stranger to a sought-after purse; she’s recently been carrying her Hermès Kelly Midas on repeat.
Inspired by the mythical king whose touch could turn anything to gold, the bag has an 18-karat-gold handle and hardware, and was released in 2023.
Daniel Englander, an expert on luxury resale site Fashionphile‘s VIP Relations team, recently told Page Six Style that an exotic version of the Kelly Midas like Sánchez’s retails for around $170,000, but can fetch much more — up to $250,000 — on the resale market.
“Lauren reportedly hosted a private shopping event at Hermès for her bachelorette party, and it’s quite possible this bag was secured then — a truly special piece for a major life moment,” Englander told us.
“The use of exotic skin paired with real gold is one of the most overt expressions of ultra-luxury we’ve seen in recent years.”
With a truly covetable handbag collection that also includes multiple Birkins and several bedazzled Judith Leiber clutches, Sánchez knows a thing or two about precious cargo.
