British Women's Purses Average Over $1K

Strange news - AP

LONDON - British women are packing some pricey handbags. The average British woman's handbag is worth about $1,037, according to a survey published Wednesday that examined both the cost of the bag and its contents.


The results of the survey of 1,700 women by Prudential Home Insurance will come as a shock to many — those surveyed estimated their bags and the things inside them to be worth only an average of $275.


The majority of women polled said makeup was the most valuable single item, with one in four carrying a set worth up to $90. Half of those surveyed said they regularly carry up to $90 in cash.


"Apart from the usual bits and bobs, women really do carry a lot of valuable items in their handbags without actually realizing it," said Prudential spokeswoman Nicole Dodunski.


The average handbag itself was worth $54, and British women carry cell phones worth an average of $360, the survey found. Sunglasses accounted for around $90, perfume $72, and house and car keys $180. Other items included a hairbrush and a diary.

I wonder how much man-bags are worth. lmao

You mean a mother-in-law might be worth something?
