...She brightened up like Christmas. "Isn't it? Can you believe it? It's an authentic Birkin-Kelly!"...
I ran into a lady with a very beautiful 25cm birkin in a "camel-ish" color. I complimented her on it and she complimented me on mine. I then asked her what color it was.....and she didn't know. huh??? She was really stumped. That confused the hell out of me. Is that strange to not remember the color of your bag? It looked fairly new. Even of you have dozens of birkins, how could you forget the colors???
Easy - she's not a tPFer! We're all so used to obsessing over the specs and details of H that we forget there are "normal" people out there for whom it really is just a "tan birkin" or "black kelly"! I remind myself that I don't remember the names of colours from other houses either - it's just a "blue 2.55" to me
