Recently in Paris, a women's handbag sold for $82,000, a record auction price for an Hermès Kelly bag. The blue leather bag, named for famed beauty Grace Kelly and featuring a silk-screened image of the former actress and Princess of Monaco, is a design unlikely to be seen again. Sold by Artcurial, a leading French auction house, the one-of-a kind handbag belonged to Her Royal Highness Princess Stephanie of Monaco and was created especially for the ''Grace Kelly Years,'' an exhibition held in Monaco in 2007. The proceeds of the auction went to the Fight Aids Monaco charity.
