My Birkin Blog Asks | Who will be the first person spotted?

Even though the new Birkin- "Trompe l'oeil Birkin" did not receive a very positive feedback from us or other blogs, My Birkin Blog still looks forward to seeing the bag and which celebrity carry it first. Is it Victoria, Lindsay, Kate, or others?

So I completely missed NY Fashion Week but no matter, I’ll cover it after the majors, Paris Fashion Week. In today’s Hermes A/W 2009 show, Gaultier debuts what he’s dubbed as the “Trompe L’Oeil Birkin”… a simplified Birkin without the flap.

This immediately interested me as this is how I normally carry my birkin — with the flap tucked into the bag for easy access to the main pocket. It seems to be what these new Birkins look like, although I can’t tell yet from WWD’s images if he’s made any changes to the wrap-around strap and hardware in the front. Can’t wait to see though!
