Hello Ladies,
I've spent the last couple of weeks browsing through this incredible forum- you guys really know your Hermes! I've always wanted a Birkin bag, and I think I'm emotionally ready to justify spending this kind of dough on a bag (just need to work on DH for a bit.
)
I really have my heart set on the box calf leather, in gold HW (but I will be happy with Palladium as well). I absolutely love the 40cm birkin that Carolyn Bessett Kennedy had. (She was and still is my one and only fashion icon.) But I think that size would be way too large for me, plus the odds of me landing a 40cm is practically nil. lol.
So I will hope for either a 30cm or 35cm. I am 5'7" so I think a 35cm will look okay on me, except I don't want to carry a bigger bag than I need. I want this to be my everyday bag- I plan to wear it to death- so it has to be a practical size to lug around everyday. Can you fit a magazine in a 30cm btw? That's probably the only size requirement I need.
Sorry to blab so much. I'm just so excited to take the first step (and kinda scared as well. :s ) I know the starting prices of birkins, however I think I read somewhere that box leather is more expensive? Can someone tell me the ballpark figure?
Of course, now I have to pray and hope for a box birkin to come my way.
Thanks for reading this and any comments are welcomed!

) But is there a comparison chart that starts with the least expensive leather, and then to the next group, and so on? I'd like to keep that in mind when I do my cost-benefit analysis. :s
My only chance might be Hermes flagstore
