The people at the Purse Blog are still trying their best to recoil from the sudden anxiety that they experienced recently. Well, they have a valid reason behind this anxiety and celebrations. During their recent trip to the New York City, Purse Blog resident blogger Meaghan was lucky enough to grab a fortune of Hermes goodies from the NYC Wall Street Hermes boutique.
The main attraction of Megs’ new found treasure is the coveted Hermes Birkin bag, in a blue jean togo leather, with palladium hardware. The treasure also includes an Hermes Vintage Scarf, an elephant cadena, a Dogon Compact Wallet in orange togo leather, and a GM Agenda in Mysore Ardoise with lilac stitching and interiors. I’m sure Meg must be feeling on cloud nine after realizing her dream of owning her dream bag. And why not? After all, the Birkin is not any ordinary handbag, its a symbol of ultimate luxury and style!
So, what makes these Hermes Birkin bags the most coveted fashion accessories in the world? Well, it is the only handbag that can leave you craving for whole two years (in the waiting list), inspite of your willingness to tolerate the hefty price tag, which starts at approximately $7,500 and sometimes even reaches a 6-digit figure.
Each Birkin bag is entirely handmade by one master craftsman and takes several weeks to complete. Birkin bags are available in a variety of exotic leathers including exotic animal skins and the lining is generally made of goat skin. The hardware used is generally gold or other precious metal.
The only way to buy a Hermes Birkin bag is through the Hermes boutiques. And to make matters worse, the Birkins are made available by Hermes at unpredictable schedules and in very few quantities. Of course, you can always opt for a used Birkin from online retail and auction websites such as eBay, but even a used Birkin will never sell for less than 50% of its original value.
