How do you fund your Hermes addiction?

It took me 28 years to get the Kelly I wanted when I discovered Hermes back in the 80s. Most of the cash was saved up, some is debt at the moment. I have another savings plan in train which might be converted into a bag in due course - or it could be a trip to the Indian Ocean.
If you want a bag fast you have to stay very, very focussed. But they are affordable actually. Research has recently revealed that the average UK woman spends £8-9,000 on handbags in her lifetime. Thats two or three really fine bags from Hermes! But YOU have to decide whether you want instant gratification and a cheap thrill on the high street or whether you will come to the Orange side and stay the distance to get the creme de la creme.

Baggs, you need to share your loot!

PS: I am looking forward to seeing your new wardrobe! :yes:

Hi MrsS!! :nuts: Oh, I've been a good girl. Have not made TOO MUCH damage... lol Just picked up some stuff here and there.

I'm almost (well not almost) done with my closet. I ended up switching rooms with the girls so I could knock down half the wall that led to the closet. I designed a HUGE walk in closet "Alla Carrie Style" with a glass door connecting my bedroom to the closet. It's just taking so long because I'm just too tired after work and was so busy I would just crash after I got home. I'm on vacation (at home :roflmfao: ) now but refuse to do any work. I need my break!
 
Sell what you don't need or like anymore, "one in, at least one out" policy, spend less on other things, save, and treat yourself. It all depends how much you really want one of those, when there is a will there's a way (legal most of the time hopefully,hehehehe!).:yahoo: when you think that a standard bag will set you back at least $900( for the cheap ones - most likely to be $1200) nowadays; $8000 roughly for a Birkin is not the end of the earth, all things considered if it is really something you want.
