Famous British political leader Margaret Thatcher has been and still is an inspiration for many women around the world, women with high aspirations and great plans for their future. As a woman, Thatcher had plenty of stylish accessories to go with her elegant garments, including numerous handbags like the one in the picture. This is a simple black leather Asprey bag which she owned for over three decades.
Christie’s sold the former British prime minister’s purse to a private bidder for a whopping £25,000 (approx. $39,900), at a London sale. Adding to the bag’s claim to fame, we’ll tell you that Thatcher wore it at the Cold War negotiations with the U.S. and Soviet Union.
