Saudi princess spends $10,000 at leather goods store

The Sultan of Brunei isn’t the only oil-rich admirer of the merchandise at the Lederer leather goods store at 58th and Madison. While the sultan bought 48 handbags and 24 umbrellas last month, Saudi Princess Jawhara al-Ibrahim, the fourth and reportedly favorite wife of the late King Fahd, swept in the other day and bought every single jewel box in the shop — seven, for a total of more than $10,000 — and seemed disappointed when owner Robert Blau said he was “a little low on stock.”
