What wud you (Mr. B) do? A $30,000 handbag and a disastrous wine spill.....

 

It all started with a handbag. B’s wasn’t just any ordinary bag, though. It was a pink Hermès Kelly clutch, since discontinued by the pricey French fashion house. B’s husband had gifted her the purse, worth $30,000, as a 30th birthday present.

So after a waiter at a posh New Jersey country club spilled some red wine on the luxury handbag last year, the real estate agent sued for negligence, demanding that the Country Club pay her the eye-popping price of her spoiled handbag.

That lawsuit had already made local headlines, but the club responded with a surprising move of its own: It’s now suing its own employee — the waiter who allegedly spilled the wine — in the latest legal development after a dinner gone downhill.
