The Hermès Birkin

If I could have any bag…any bag in the world…any bag this very second…it would be a Birkin – either brown with gold hardware, or black crocodile with gold hardware! I tried really hard to convince myself it would be another bag, as not to sound so cliche, but I couldn’t do it. The Hermès Birkin is the bag….the bag of all bags…the queen of all bags…the most classic bag…the now and forever “it” bag…and oh yes, it is the bag of my dreams! Thus, it makes it the perfect bag to start off my series Bag Crush.

A Short History of Hermès / The Birkin:
Hermès first founded in 1837 as a harness workshop, making harnesses and bridles for the carriage trade. Over the years Hermès has grown into the luxury brand we know it today – especially known for their silk scarves and leather handbags. The most coveted of all their handbags is the Birkin, originally deisgned for and named after Jane Birkin in 1984.

It is one of the most elite bags one can purchase; due to it’s exceptional quality; mixed with the multi-year-long waiting list; mixed with the exclusive price point – ranging anywhere from $9,000 to $150,000 depending on the leather, colour and hardware the costumer chooses (yes you get custom create your handbags at Hermès). Each handbag is carefully hand crafted by one highly skilled artisan from start to finish.

You can shop more Hermès at The Real Real, Gilt, and Luxe DH.
