Anyone who has ever met me, ever met my mother, ever been near one of the ladies of my family knows that we would practically kill for a Birkin. My Grandmother used to have tons of them (did they keep them? no. Is it a story for another time? yes) and I have been known to pet one in public when with someone carrying one. I love them. I love and dream of in particular the Hermes Orange Crocodile 35 cm bag for a mere $35,000 US and a 3 year wait list at least. I would even do it in boring leather for $9,000 it I had to (the old adage of one cow for one Birkin is fine with me! I'm no SPCA member). Anyway......I think that when I win the lottery (I know I'd have to buy a ticket, a minor stumbling block) or some how am left a large sum of money from some fabulous person that I have yet to meet, I will buy one. In the mean time, I will pine after my mother's and read the new book: Bringing Home the Birkin - my life in hot pursuit of the world's most coveted handbag I think that it is going to be quite different from what I originally thought the book was going to be about given the back of the book description " A globe-trotting story of serendipity, blackmail, fashion, fraud, insatiable greed, bribery, heartbreak, romance, and the world's most impossible-to-get handbag."
I plan on devouring it over the Canadian long weekend this weekend. Look forward to the book report a la Grade 6 styles in the near future. In the mean time a touch of eye candy to keep me happy:
