Birkin Bags

Birkin bags are the ultimate status symbol where bags are concerned. Its waiting list is said to be one of the longest in history. Even if you have enough cash to buy one, you might not even be able to get a real Birkin bag. There just are not enough to go around.

The first Birkin bag is said to have begun when British-born French actress Jane Birkin opened her Hermes bag and her loose notes fell out onto the floor of the plane. It so happened that Hermes CEO Jean-Louis Dumas was sitting beside her. He witnessed the entire incident and after hearing her woes about finding a good weekend bag, he designed the first Birkin bag, named after her.

That is a romantic version of how it began. Was that really the case? No one would really know other than Jane Birkin and the Dumas, I guess.

Anyway, no matter what inspired the Birkin bag, that practical, yet gorgeous bag turned out to be a hit. Look at it. You can keep your documents in it like you might a brief case and you don"t have to worry about your notes flying out. Hermes has taken care of that. The Birkin bag is far more elegant than a briefcase or any other bag large enough to hold your work. In fact, that Birkin bag is absolutely beautiful.
