Is the Hermes "Birkin" worth the money and the wait? Is it obtainable?

Annie, my Fjord 30cm Birkin is over 10 yrs old, and while it's definitely not smooshy and slouchy, it has definitely relaxed a bit, especially on the sides. I'm not sure how that translates to a Bolide since the construction may be a little different. I imagine that a Fjord Bolide would soften a bit over time, but I doubt if it would become as slouchy as Clemence unless you sat on it a few times. And even then, maybe not!

I think Birkin is more fashion chic and kelly is more classy elegant. Atlease one of each for every girl.

yesss!!! at least one of each. before becoming an H fan i spent my time anf money buying everything from the fendi spy bag. chloe paddington, and all the other trend bags. But after a while it they became out of style and out dated (no offense to those who loves the bag, just my personal opinion), but with a kelly or B i think they are timeless and iconic. also good investment!

I totally agree with you. I had own all the "it" bag from each brand and I ended up getting tired of them. I had always wanted a Birkin and I'm willing to give up all other for the ONE and Only Birkin. H had been so up tight and fouce all clients to purchase RTW and Shoes to sell you a birkin! I had recently purchase a 30 for $9K + with tax (which is totally worth) but gosh the $$ you need to dorp on RTW before can get a hand on the bag..( dont even want to think about it.) Birkin you can never get enough!

ABO****ELY! if i could turn back time i woukd save up my money toeards a Birkin rather than spending it on "trendy" bags. ive been lucky ebough to get a kelly just by asking for it, but has also dealt with buying alot of "stuff" before being offered a Birkin. so when buying "stuff" i trey to get ones that I van use on and with the Birkin/kelly... like twilly s, keychains, etc.

Of course Birkin is really worth the wait! I'm head over heels for one of those. It's classy, elegant, timeless, and aesthetically beautiful. As simple as that. However.. regardless of my millions praises to Hermes, I think I'm still too young to carry one of those. Maybe later when I've started my career path :D

Just tryin to look my age.
