I don't understand why it's ok to trash a $100 bag but not a $1000 one?

Personally, I couldn't care less how much her bags cost. She paid for them, she can do what she wants with them. To me it's makes no difference if it's 10, 100, 1000, or 10,000. Not my money.

About her attitude, I think she sounded more angry than smug in the article.
Either way, I don't like or dislike her.

I don't think it's okay to trash any bag but at thousands a piece... for some that is a monthly income just seems very well not appreciating the fact you have such privilege, she better hope one day those are not her funding option to eat lol

Have you folks ever seen a picture of Jane Birkin's Birkin, THE Birkin that was the very first one Hermes designed and made for her? That one was pretty trashed with stickers and stuff when she auctioned it off a few years ago for charity:

From the Daily Mail article:

"She told Vogue.com that the bag's aged look is part of its charm.
She said: 'There’s no fun in a bag if it’s not kicked around, so that it looks as if the cat’s been sitting on it - and it usually has.

'The cat may even be in it! I always put on stickers and beads and worry beads. You can get them from Greece, Israel, Palestine - from anywhere in the world.

'I always hang things on my bags because I don’t like them looking like everyone else's.'

Defacing high-end bags with graffiti and stickers is nothing new. One of the British fashion bloggers recently wrote "A History of Defacing the Birkin" which chronicles the adventures of celebrity high-end bag trashers:

I guess whatever floats your boat.

Love the comments in the link you posted OP!

I don't necessarily have anything against people getting "creative" with their own property. I do agree with the others that it's probably the tone/attitude of the blogger herself which turns me off (she does seem to have some "issues").

I think majority of us here don't have problem on what one person want to do to his/her belonging. But for this particular blogger she have a very disturbing attitude. I don't know if she's just a show off or angry. One thing is for sure her blog is full of negativity and I don't like it at all.

I am also thinking of doing a DIY stuff into a Birkin inspired from Baginc.com but I want to do it purely to customize the bag and not to brag. Obviously even if am a millionaire I wont do a DIY into a Birkin or any premium/contemporary designer bag. It just feel wrong in a sense of value of money not design of the bag. The bag from baginc is about $145 & since I am not spending a fortune for it I don't feel guilty do it.

I think it's extreme narcissism masquerading as humility. What she's saying through her words and actions is that she's above her designer bags, and she wants to make sure everyone knows it.


Someone who was truly humble would be appreciative of her nice things and treat them well in order to make them last, with the understanding that most of the world doesn't make in a year what some of those bags cost.


I strongly suspect she doesn't extend this sharpie/patches/mud aesthetic to her other nice things: her car, her dishes, her watch, her bedding... and I think that says it all, really.
