friends, i’m going to come right out and say it: this thursday purseday (if on twitter, link up at #thursdaypurseday) is, in my book, the cream of the crop. the great bambino. the absolute most amazing bag i have ever laid my eyes on. something i can only dream to ever own myself (and something victoria beckham owns in every color/style imaginable).
without further ado, i present to you… the Hermes HAC (Haut a Courrois), aka the “original Birkin”:
from forbes.com: “This bag, inspired by French actress Jane Birkin, can fetch between $6,000 and $15,000, depending on what grade of leather or exotic skin it is made of.

“But it is as nothing compared to its more exotic sister, the Crocodile Birkin. Price: $120,000. What makes this bag so expensive is not just the leather used but also the 10 carats of diamonds set in white gold and placed on its clasp. There are only two such bags available for purchase in the world.”
ahhh…. a girl can dream, can’t she?

Ok, I'm in love with that purse! Love at first sight actually!! So glad I found your blog :)
Ohhhhhhh I want, I want, I WANT.
May we all win the lotto and buy THAT BAG!
They just had these on RueLaLa and I may have sat at my desk drooling for a minute (or two or three). The ostrich leather Birkin was being sold for $18,999.00! A girl can dream, indeed lol
dream is right! only for the rich.
ahhh i love the birkin bags…how i wish i could own one….but those babies are nearly half of my yearly income!
Yes I'll be one of the dreamers as well!! And thankfully for my wallet I actually prefer the non-croc one!!
My jaw just hit the desk when I saw the prices!! they are beautiful though =)
ooooh fab choices!
Holy cow! Beautiful but… WAY out of my price range. I'm cheap not easy… LOL
The first time I'd ever heard of the Birkin Bag was on Gilmore Girls.
