Someone in Hong Kong just spent more than $300,000 for a dazzling Hermes Birkin.

That makes it the most expensive handbag ever sold.

The rare Birkin is diamond-encrusted. It's made of crocodile leather and 18 karat gold hardware.

Christie's auction house calls the signature Birkin "fashion history."
