During my hunt for inspiration, I came across an interesting article. The writer made me stop and think. Of course as a Hermes fan, I am totally against it. But who knows what you might think. His article started with the headline: ‘’Has Hermes Birkin Bag lost its appeal?’’ and on the top of that, he supported his opinion with a few strong convincing points. Well, is he right?
A few bullets:
• If Birkin was so expensive and hard to get, why do so many woman – and men carry them?
• Too many people who are not fashionable have it. And they carry it everywhere.
• A Birkin cost thousands of dollars. It represent success, achievement and status.
In some way, I do agree with the writer. Why do so many actually carry Birkin and why are they available in all kinds of colors, shapes and materials. From what I heard, Celine has a serious buyer restrictions. Some people are saying that you can only buy one Celine bag in x amount of time, and they track you! But why? Because Celine doesn’t want their bags to end up on Ebay or in a luxury bag store selling for a premium price. Isn’t it time for Birkin to limit their supply, so that the proud owner can say: ‘I have a Birkin, and it’s hard-to-get’’.

I recently came across your website and as I read more and more articles I’m falling deeper in love! You have many of my favourite designers and when I am on the look out to make a new designer purchase I always go with a new bag! These articles are a huge help so thank you, you’re doing a wonderful job! 🙂
Hi Anchal, thanks for your encouragement. It’s actually kind of hard-work, but your words and love helps me moving forward. Which bag did you bought recently?
There seems to be a lot out but that’s because a lot of people carry fakes. The birkin has a wait list I’m currently on it still waiting for that call. The SA also says it’s one bag per person per year.
Same opinion here =). I saw a girl carrying a Birkin last week. I couldn’t see whether it’s fake or real from distance.:s
