The Birkin Bag
“Birkin Bagâ€? …two little words that send every fashionista into a frenzy. The coveted Birkin bag comes with the longest waitlist for any luxury item – up to six years long. It also comes with a hefty price tag. The regular going rate for a Birkin is about $6,000. Even the most elite have trouble getting their hands on a Birkin Bag.
Many unenlightened people may ask “why a waitlist?�…“why so much money?� But only those who have been up close and personal with the Hermes Birkin bag can really begin to understand what all the hype is about. This bag radiates quality with its fine leather, precise lines, handmade details, and immaculate interior. Every detail of this bag, down to the stitching, is perfect. So much handwork, detail, and fine quality are put into these bags. They can’t help but stand apart from the other masses of factory created bags. With the perfect size and style the Birken can accompany you anywhere with anything…if only you are so lucky to have one.
Birkin Bags are not simply fashion accessories but coveted collector items. It is a fashion time-piece carried for years and passed down to daughters and granddaughters. It is an item that exudes elegance, style, and affluence. Men have antique stop watches and women have the Birkin Bag. Simply put, the Birkin bag is a classic time-piece that only very few are blessed with the honors of owning.

Seriously right on. You can never go wrong with a birkin. Timeless classic that will last years and years.
that’s right. But is that bag in the picture authentic? hmmm… I cant help but notice.
i completely agree with everything that’s been said above BUT WHAT THE HELL? THE BAG ON THE PICTURE IS DEFINITELY NOT A BIRKIN, IT’S A TERRIBLE IMITATION.
that’s not a birkin ! having been a loyal reader of this site i’m utterly disappointed ! you should know better than that…
love love love the article!! so true-the birkin is a timeless and pricless (or just price-y) fashion item!!
WHO IS VANESSA? ARE YOU NEW AT BLOGGING ON BAG BLISS???? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?
Sorry guys about the image mess up. I agree with everything V said, but the bag was all wrong. I’ve replaced it with this gorgeous blue jean Veau Cripse Togo (bull) beauty by authentic ebay’er monte carlo club.
now i have to go on that wait list…. we want what is hard to get… before the six years are up, i would have saved enough to purchase it when my name comes up….
love love love the article, and to the folks complaining about the pic, good eye, but im sure it was an accident.
a birkin is about $8000 and up.
Sorry about that pic guys. I’m new at blogging and I must admit that I was in a hurry when preparing that blog…I had a deadline due on a motion for summary judgment due for the next morning.
Wow, I missed the original pic, I see the pale blue bag that she replaced it with. About the Birkin though, Where do I sign up for this waiting list??? I have got to have one, especially if they can be handed down to my daughter & granddaughters. I just know my girls would love this – so maybe I should get 3 Birkins, not just one.
