It should be a tad darker than gold in actuality...

Thanks for viewing, everyone!! Considering the 10 yrs span, actually my family is not that fast in coming. I did let go of several Birks over the years. A Blue Jean 30 in Togo, a Rouge Vif 35 in Fjord, a Rouge Garance/horsehair (dunno what's the name) 35, and one that I until this day still regret and

still beating myself over the head for letting it go: an Indigo with Blue Jean trim in Togo 35, with RH. That was one bad decision...

No no, I guess it appears differently under different lighting. Happens all the time.

Oh whitebirkin, that Indigo with Blue Jean trim in Togo 35 with Ruthenium HW would be so lovely!! But I always believe if it's meant to be yours then it'll cross your path again one day.

Twigz, I am sure your collection is amazing too! Can't wait to see your pictures here.

Queenie: thanks! yes... i hope one day i'll get a chance to get it again. Actually that one was one bad story. A friend of my friend stole it. She told my friend she wanted to borrow mine for comparison, then basically went and gone missing with my bag! My friend apologized, but what can she do, she also didn't know that was going to happen. I was very upset, still am, but couldn't really do anything.

Twigz: let us know when you've posted your collection k!! Can't wait!

From then on, I always look for available Birkins whenever I travel. The only one that I got from a waitlist is actually the vert anis.

Thanks for the response.

Beautiful collection. Congrats.

WBirkin, thanks so much for posting these pictures of your amazing Birkin collection. It is really fabulous!!!

Do you have a favorite? I'm sure it must be very hard to choose a favorite from so many beauties.

That is a very sad story about what happened to the indigo with BJ trim Birkin. How awful to lose a bag that way. I hope you do get another one like it some day.

Holy cow... WOW WOW. Amazing collection.

Thanks MaggieD! Yes, it is very very hard to choose a favorite!

I would cry if I have to let go of any of them. But, having said that, I do have my absolute favorite

! My white epsom 30. I don't know why, but it's always the first one that comes in mind when I'm thinking of my Birkins.

Sorry, you mean the blue jean/indigo or cognac one?

Oh dear! Can't believe someone will do that!!

The one that's stolen is the indigo/blue jean trim. Yup, I couldn't believe it also, but it happened to me
