Depending on your values, you might think spending more than $1,000 on a handbag is ludicrous. Or you might think a quilted Chanel bag is an investment. If you fall into the latter category, how would you feel about an $18,000 fly-fishing rod? Chanel is offering such a rod, along with a set of monochrome Chanel flies (complete with the double “C” logo on gossamer wings and a quilted black leather box). At first I thought, Coco Chanel must be turning over in her grave! but The Guardian reports that she was a tomboy who fished while dating the Duke of Westminster in the ‘20s. Keep reading to see what else you could buy with $18,000.

    I wonder if it’s even any good.  You could buy yourself, like, 18 top-of-the-line Orvis fly fishing rods for $18k AND take a bunch of friends with you on the trip.

    Who is the target market on this?  Trophy wives who are losing their husbands to the rivers of Montana??
