?w968h681Maryana Beyders wasnt just any ordinary bag, though. It was a pink Hermès Kelly clutch, since discontinued by the pricey French fashion house. Beyders husband had gifted her the purse, worth $30,000, as a 30th birthday present.
So after a waiter at a posh New Jersey country club spilled some red wine on the luxury handbag last year, the real estate agent sued for negligence, demanding that the Alpine Country Club pay her the eye-popping price of her spoiled handbag.
That lawsuit had already made local headlines, but on Monday, the club in Demarest responded with a surprising move of its own: Its now suing its own employee the waiter who allegedly spilled the wine in the latest legal development after a dinner gone downhill.

and I thought that was an outrageous indulgence (but it was leather and lasted a long time).
Apparently, once you reach a certain level of income, accidents don't happen or if they do, you expect more than an "I'm sorry". Or, she's just not a decent person.

I guess some people will sport anything as a status symbol. Tasteless and crass.
