To buy or not to buy a birkin above retail?

Thanks for all of your wonderful advice ladies. I've decided to buy from Hermes directly and wait for my perfect bag. I'm going to Paris at the end of the month, so hopefully I will have some luck there!

Since it's not a discontinued style or color, I don't think it's worth paying the markup. Give it time and patience!

For your info, one of my friends got her Etoupe birkin from Paris. Best of luck to you!
