You will be even more thrilled when you use your bag everyday...! I ostrich ! it is such a beautiful skin, it wears like iron, gets a fabulous patina .... and it makes you stand out of the crowd.

catabie, for the most part, I tend to like the look
of Ostrich Birkins better than the ones in Croc.
Especially in a color like raisin or gold. I hope you
don't have to wait too long for your dream bag. :)

Ahhhh, one of my HG birkins is on ebay right now for a pretty reasonable price (i.e.- without an exorbitant markup) but I just can't afford it right now!! I have other priorities with my money right now (have to pay off my student loans and save up money for moving to France)...but man oh man...if I could only get it, I totally would!

mimi, Moving to France? How exciting. :)
I'd definitely say hold off any Ebay auctions, when
you can go to the Mothership instead! :)

Oh, it's my 500th post! I desperately wish I could celebrate with a coveted Hermes bag


(Oh my Lindy, I will get you, yet!)

Kelly_Birkin, you are so nice with the encouragement!

In the meantime, I have this forum to drool over and this thread to keep me strong

I want to join this group. I have to save because, while we can "afford" it, we can't "afford" it b/c DH thinks this it's utterly ridiculous to spend that much on a purse. Also with the threat of an economic turndown looming, I too don't think it's that wise to spend so much money on a purse. So I have to save and buy on consignment or eBay. The thing that scares me the most is getting scammed. I also have no idea how much the things I want cost. I have set a goal for myself of having a Kelly by the year 2011. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I think I will have a good stash put away by then. Then my goal is to buy a consigned Hermes bag every other year after that. Let's see if I can do it!

Well I was thinking about buying a Birkin this year with the money I was going to make on my investments....you can imagine how that isn't going to be happening with the economy the way it is. Then again if I saw the perfect bag on the shelf it would be hard to say no. Sigh. I really shouldn't. And how do you decide when you can afford the bag?

This thread is terrific for those of us who are waiting/saving and are trying not to spend our money elsewhere. I'm struggling at the moment as I have my eye on a few things but hopefully it will be all worth it.

P-B, there's a ref thread on the board about reputable
ebay sellers - and another thread about the current prices
of items. I hope that helps. :)

Gosh, I know what you all mean. I am lucky that the closest Hermes right now is an hour and a half away because I *could* just go and take a Lindy home with me...but...I...shouldn't...right? LOL

I'm trying to read up on money/investing to offset any "bright ideas" I get from our beloved H forum.

Yes, I am planning to move to France to join my boyfriend who lives there. You totally read my mind though, because what ultimately stopped me from pushing "BIN" on the auction was the thought that I would be able to shop at the Mothership instead!

I love this H support group!!!
happytonite, have you ever think of calling/visitn H store out of Hong Kong? They can always ship to you!


Hell yeah Tulip!! You and I can do it --- we'll eventually get there, right? And there's nothing wrong with second hand as I checked out some of the reputable buyers on Ebay for my grail, and I think I can definitely swing those better than a brand spanking new one. Besides, second hand ones have a little more love to them, especially the Box! (Call me Ally McBeal with a Birkin!!)
