Birkin Blog Says | Birkin Bag's New Look | HERMES Fall/Winter 2009
In HERMES Fall/Winter 2009 fashion show, We saw Jean-Paul Gaultier gives Birkin bags a new look- the "Trompe l'oeil" Birkin. The straps and the flap are embossed on the leather outside. I am not sure if it is zipper or open top as I am still in shock of its new look.
I am not sure "simplification" is always a good thing because I just love the original Birkin bags so much. I think the original Birkin bags are as good as any bags can be. They don't need to be added or taken away anything.
When Jean-Paul Gaultier was asked if this bag is priced lower than a regular Birkin, he turned to ask HERMES staff: " I don't know. Is it cheaper?"
Since I have not decided if I like it yet, I will ask you to decide. Are you as undecided as me? Leave me comment.
