Hello from Ginza, Tokyo Japan

Japan Here I Come!

birkin blog says | sure you can find birkin bags at hermes stores

we all know there is a loooooooooooooooong waiting list for the birkin bags. there is even a waiting list to get on the waiting list in some stores. on the recent trip to tokyo, I visited two hermes stores- hermes mansion in ginza and isetan department store in shinjuku. i am surprised that i saw many (i mean many) birkin bags in both stores. i asked the saleslady if they were available (sometimes they tell you the bags are for display only, not for sale). the saleslady told me the bags are all available for sale. If you do not mind a trip to japan and high tax, you can still purchase birkin bags from hermes stores.
