Authentic Hermes Birkin Handbags
What makes a Hermes Birkin handbag so coveted in the high fashion world? With pricing ranging from the $6,000 dollar range and even as high as the $100,000 range, what makes this handbag worth it? What makes people wait over six years to get a this type of handbag?
You will find the answers to all these questions. All having to do with the reputation and workmanship from the manufacturer Hermès.
Hermès is a French high fashion house, established in 1837, which specializes in leather, ready-to-wear, lifestyle accessories, perfumery, and luxury goods. The company is renowned in the fashion world, and its products are considered to be prestigious by virtue of workmanship, reputation, and price.
Some famous people that that have used Hermes products are Duke and Duchess of Windsor, John F. Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, Sammy Davis, Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, Romy Schneider, Catherine Deneuve, and Grace Kelly.
Hermès is highly recognized for making handmade luggage and handbag collections. They do not use assembly lines. Only one craftsman may work on one handbag at a time which involves hand-stitching each individual piece. Pricing for these bags is extremely high because of the labor-intensive nature of manufacturing these handbags. The use of rare materials (sometimes including exotic skins as well as precious metals), one bag can take 18 to 24 hours to create.
Hermès’ leathers include alligator from Florida, buffalo from Pakistan, crocodile from Australia, shark from Thailand, lizard from Malaysia, and oxen, deer, calf, goat, and ostrich from all over the world. The leathers are professionally treated (dyed in every color, pattern, and texture imaginable) and handcrafted into stylish accessories in the end.
The “Birkin” bag is a handbag manufactured by leather goods and ready-to-wear manufacturer Hermès. It is named after British-born actress and singer Jane Birkin, a longtime resident of France. Jane Birkin, who co-designed the handbag with company president Jean-Louis Dumas after complaining that her Kelly bag was not practical for everyday use.
You may have seen or heard the Birkin handbag mentioned on popular television shows such as Gilmore Girls, Sex and the City, Will & Grace, Gossip Girl and Girlfriends. The Hermes Birkin bag has been spotted on well known celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Coleen Rooney, Alex Curran, Kate Moss, Martha Stewart, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Oprah Winfrey.
There is even a book about this handbag called, Bringing Home the Birkin, (Michael Tonello) – ‘My Life in Hot Pursuit of the Most Coveted Handbag.’ On his website, he writes, “After figuring out the ‘secret forumla’ that renders Hermes’ wait lists obsolete, Michael provided same-day Birkins to his wealthy clients for the better part of a decade, earning both a very comfortable living on his commissions and a permanent spot on the speed dial of countless socialites, fashionistas, and celebrities.
