200 Launer Handbags
Owned Since: 1950s
Valued At: $500,000*
The Queen has the financial means to purchase any type of handbag she desires. She may be spending a few thousand dollars on Ralph Lauren or Chanel designs, but they do not appeal to Her Majesty. Liz, on the other hand, favors Launer, a London-based designer. Her mother gave her one in the 1950s, which started a lifelong obsession. The queen now owns more than 200 Launer handbags. Her favorite styles are the Royale and Traviata. Each one cost $2,500, making them extremely valuable and expensive for her collection.
