When it comes to high fashion – it doesn’t get much higher.
當談到高級時尚─ ─沒有比它再高級了。

A jeweler in Dubai has just unveiled the world’s most expensive purse, valued at $3.8 million dollars.
一位杜拜珠寶商剛展示世界最昂貴的手提包，價值美金380萬。

Made in France, the high-priced accessory is known as the ‘Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse’ and took just under 9 thousand hours to make.
在法國製造，高價格的配件，以「Mouawad1001鑽石之夜手提包」聞名，僅用不到9,000小時就完成製作。

[Pascal Mouawad, Jeweler]:
“It features 4,517 diamonds, white diamonds, yellow diamonds, and pink diamonds. It’s beautiful – it’s in the shape of a heart, inspired by fairy tales and for our love of beautiful craftsmanship and art.”
珠寶商Pascal Mouawad說：
「有4,517顆鑽石是這只皮包的特色，有白鑽、黃鑽和粉紅色鑽石，它很美麗 –是心的形狀，靈感來自於童話故事，以及我們對美的工藝和藝術的愛。」

The purse represents the ultimate in luxury goods, and has been certified by Guinness World Records.
這只手提包代表奢侈品的極致，並已受到金氏世界紀錄的認證。

It’s creator Pascal Mouawad says all he needs now, is a buyer.
它的創作者Pascal Mouawad表示，他現在所需要的是買家。

[Fred Mouawad, Jeweler]:
“All I can say is this purse belongs tone person who deserves nothing less. So it is a man who most likely very much loves their wife, or their partner and they would be giving them a very unique piece as a gift.”
珠寶商Fred Mouawad說：
「我只能說這只手提包，屬於一個當之無愧的人。所以這最可能是一個男人非愛他們的妻子，或他們的夥伴，願意給他們一個非常獨特的作品作為禮物。」

A gift that would make a loved one extremely happy.. and no doubt, a little anxious at the same time.
這是一份會讓心愛的人非常高興的禮物，毫無疑問，同時會有點焦慮。
