So to many it may sound weird, that a boy from Belfast can have such a deep and profound love for a handbag. But this is no ordinary handbag, it's more than just a handbag or the status symbol of a designer bag. It's a piece of art and a representation of all that I hold true to my heart, glamour, class and above all style (fashion fades, style is eternal-Karl Lagerfeld).
The Birkin by Hermès, handmade in leather and named after actress and singer Jane Birkin. The bag is a symbol of wealth due to its high price and elusiveness to the public, ranging from £6,000-£100,000 depending on the material you choose to have yours produced in. Since its first release in 1981, although free from any logo the birkin bag is one of the most recognised bags in the world.
A 21st century celebrity must have, Victoria Beckham is reported to have a collection of over 100 valued at around £1,500,000. Some may say that's a little excessive but I say not. I my not own a Birkin but I'm well aware that somewhere there is one that will one day belong to me or for all I know I could one day have a collection to rival that of VB (here's hoping).
So what are your opinions of the Birkin bag, what are your favourite colours and what other bag do you think may even be better?
Until next time,
Xx
