Money to burn! Francesca Eastwood and boyfriend Tyler Shields set a $100,000 Hermes Birkin bag on fire in the name of art

It is one of the most sort after handbags in the world and customers are often required to go on a very long waiting list in order to obtain one.
But the fashion world is without one less Hermes Birkin bag after Francesca Eastwood and her boyfriend Tyler Shields set one on fire in a new photo shoot.
The 18-year-old daughter of legendary actor Clint Eastwood and her photographer beau burnt the $100,000 crocodile skin version of the bag in the name of art.

The pair finish off the tote by slicing it in half with a chainsaw.

This isn't the first luxury item that has been destroyed for one of Shields's shoot.
A pair of Christian Louboutin shoes were also wrecked in the name of photographic art.
The new pictures come after Shields‘ recently opened his Mouthful exhibit in support of Love is Louder in Los Angeles.
Opening night was last weekend and actress Emma Roberts was one of the guests-of-honour.

The event, held at a private studio, was the most exclusive ticket in town as guests clamoured to get close to the cult photographer.
Also in attendance at the exhibit, presented by A/X Armani Exchange were Tyler‘s girlfriend Francesca, Harry Shum, Jr., and Modern Family‘s Sarah Hyland - who was with boyfriend Matt Prokop - and beauties, Christa B. Allen and Brittany Snow.
The cult snapper posed happily with Eastwood's beautiful daughter and Roberts at the wonderfully surreal event.

And the niece of superstar Julia Roberts seemed to enjoy the event, mingling with the giant rabbits and panda wandering around the studio playing chess.
Roberts and Eastwood have often teamed up for a series of stylish photoshoots with Shields.
