Article | Hermes Birkin | lux-stuff.com

The Hermes Birkin Bag is considered by some to be the Holy Grail of handbags. Named after actress Jane Birkin, the inception of the Birkin came about in 1984. Prices can range from around $7.000 - $15,000, depending on the leather or exotic skin, with a price tag far higher for a special edition.

Even the wealthiest women must wait for an exquisitely stitched Hermès Birkin bag, so to own one is an elite status symbol. You would be in the same company as Victoria Bekham, Nicole Richie and Brooke Shields. There is reportedly a waiting list of five years as the Paris workrooms only produce about 5 Birkins a week. Good things come to those who wait.
