I've really been thinking of getting a Birkin with my last bonus, or the birthday money I always get from my MIL (she's very generous). But I'm scared of all the stories about them being hard to get or having to work up to one with smaller purchases (which i think is just absurd. I'm not going to earn the right to drop a large amount of money on a bag.) If I got one, I would want it to be just what I wanted and not want to settle for whatever turns up. If I knew I could do get that, I would sell other bags to get it if I had to.
i went to hermes a few months ago and they had a chartreuse green 35cm birkin. i put it on hold, but after thinking about it, i was like, i am not going to spend over $7000 for a green bag that i will probably use once. and my parents laughed when i told them the price
