So that's who won the auction! I remember reading an article where Matt Lauer's wife told him to stop bidding on Audrey's croc Kelly once it went over $20K.
 
From LOOKONLINE.COM: A NY FASHION INDUSTRY E-ZINE SINCE 1994

The hottest item of the evening was Audrey Hepburn’s black crocodile “Kelly” Hermes handbag together with one pair of mid-length black, leather gloves. Bidding opened at $1,000 and bag sold for a staggering $36,000. The auction ended with a surprise item – Audrey’s brown crocodile “Kelly” Hermes handbag with one pair of mid-length brown, leather gloves. Although Today Show host Matt Lauer was out-bid by Harper’s Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Glenda Bailey, who took the bag home for $25,000, he did walk away with a Balthus drawing that was given to Audrey Hepburn by Balthus in the summer of 1971. His winning bid was $7,000.
