A £64K ($100K) red crocodile skin handbag has perished in an extravagant photoshoot. The item, from design house Hermes Birkin, was burned by Clint Eastwood’s daughter Francesca, 18, during the shoot for her photographer boyfriend Tyler Shields.

The photos depict the bag, which is one of the world’s most sought after designer items and has a waiting list of wealthy customers itching to get their hands on it, being pulled apart, attacked by a chainsaw and set alight.


Viewers of the model’s reality TV show ‘Mrs Eastwood and Company’ were appalled at the shoot for the horrific waste of such an expensive item. But it’s not the first time Shields has destroyed fashion symbols in the name of art – a pricy pair or Louboutins met their end in a previous shoot.

“Wow....” one Twitter user said. “The $100k wasted on this pointless shoot could of been used to benefit a number of charities or ppl in real need. Just crazy. [sic]

“This is not art at all its just plain stupidity! Rich girls with nothing better to do than burn money”, the user added.

Eastwood has received death threats via Facebook and Twitter but isn’t particularly bothered about the waste of money or the criticism of her ethics. “People just don’t understand art,” she told TMZ.

The controversy (and publicity) comes just after Shields opened his latest photography exhibition in Los Angeles.

all I can do is raise my eyebrows and smh cause if she cant see why what she did is offensive then you talking to the wind with a person like that.

Irony is, she feels her art is about the "extravagant" excesses we in the West indulge in on a daily basis, but she cant see that her having a 100K to waste in such a manner embodies the very message she is preaching against.

But hey so some ppl head set....
