hermes hype

the IT BAG of all time is the hermes birkin. it is the ultimate symbol of luxury which makes it the ultimate “IT BAG.” the hermes birkin has an unbelievable waitlist, it’s ridiculously overpriced (we are talking about an unbelievable 7k and upwards per bag depending on the style and skin being used), and celebrities like toting it around because it’s status…. unless you’re rich and/or famous which i’m not, it’s hard to imagine paying 7k for a bag. then again, if i was rich and/or famous, i wouldn’t be sitting around blogging about bags i want…i would just go out and get it already. ohhh the life. woes me…..

i spotted an orange birkin when i attended the lacma salvadore dali reception. i immediately recognized it because of the signature hardware it rocks which is its iconic lock and clasp across the bag. it didn’t blow me away at the time i saw it, but like any bag, you MUST carry it before it comes to life for you. it is hard to make a connection with said bag when you spot it adorning another person. you really do need that personal connection. lucky for me, i won’t ever get a foreseeable chance to do that…that is one obsession that i need not have. anyways, there are MANY commoners out there that are enamored with this bag. the “IT BAG” status must be a powerful draw! purse addicts beware!
