! My first love was LV, then came Chanel, and now I've made my way to Hermes. I don't own any, yet, but plan too! I can purchase one without exactly going into debt or wiping out my savings, but I think I'm going to save the upcoming 7 months for one! But it's going to be so hard :shuckst:!!!! I have a monthly "luxury goods budget" where I usually buy louboutins, but I'm willing to sacrifice growing a louboutin collection for a Birkin 
I have 8, so that's enough for now 
And if I don't save the exact amount (there's no way I can completely forgo shopping for luxury goods 
), I'll take just a small amount from my savings 
I'm 27 and I've been addicted to Hermes for only less than a year. Before that, I was a Chanel girl and I thought Hermes was too simple and too snooty. But it all changed when I met the right SA. Now I have a deep appreciation of the brand, the cleanliness of its aesthetic, and its excellent craftsmanship. I have various accessories (belt, watch, bracelets, scarves) and my 2 beloved birkins. My next dream bag is a kelly, and I'm hoping to find the right kelly for me in the near future I recently fell in love with the Birkin, it's perfection
Maybe around my next birthday I will have enough saved, as well as, be more knowledge with the exact type of Birkin I want
Ok, it's official .. I'm def pulling the trigger come my 25th birthday in 7 months
Ok, done thinking (writing) outloud
. I am also a big fan of the bracelets and have a couple of dip dyes.. But hey the best part of being in the Young and in love with H club is we set our fashion priorities early and have lots of time to save and make money to fuel our addiction .
). Hey all, I just joined the forum and I'm 25. I got my first H when I was 21? and still in university. It was a belt that I bought on ebay from a consignment shop. I haven't really got the bug back then, I loved the belt but over time it's gotten a bit dusty as I stopped wearing belts that often.
I've always been a lover of practical bags i.e. those with a strap and thought of myself as a Chanel girl exclusively. My BF got me a beautiful timeless black Chanel two years back when I was in grad school and very depressed for my birthday and this has only encouraged me in my believe that only small shoulder bags would do it for me (even though I do have a couple of bigger bags as well).
I always thought I would never get a Birkin because a) I didn't like the style b) it didn't have any shoulder strap. Well, I guess I was wrong. Entering the corporate world as a junior investment banker my salary suddenly allowed me much more financial freedom than before and I started to think about what bag I would like to have in my collection.
And even though I still don't like the PHW Birkins I slowly over time fell in love with the black GHW birkin and started reading on the forum, browsing vintage shops online rentlessly. And then I changed my mind again. As I love pastels and most of my wardrobe consists of neutrals I decided a gold GWH birkin would match my wardrobe much better.
And this week finally I got my 35 gold GHW birkin and I absolutely love it (i bought it from collectorsquare). I even stayed home on Monday to wait for the UPS deliver all day (telling my colleagues I had to work from home as I had a "furniture deliver"
And I think I got the H bug now. I signed up to this forum, shared this very long story and am halfway through with reading "Bringing home the Birkin" and am now browsing H shoes for my BF. I feel like this could be just the beginning of a great love!
