Marc Jacobs totes one!What is boxy, expensive, and has its own waiting list? No, it's not your precious college education. It's the Hermès Birkin, silly!
I don't really know why women and men love this bag. First off, it's excessively expensive. And by expensive, I mean beyond-the-thousand-dollar mark expensive. Second, it has its own waiting list! The only things I know that have waiting lists are:
a) my accounting class (which is a total shock)
b) tickets for super-duper limited events, and
c) vital body parts for organ transplant patients
But, little did I know that there is so much more to the Birkin than a bag. Economicswise, there are logical reasons for the Birkin's appalling price tag and exclusivity. As I discovered in an article from Preview magazine (the Philippines' version of Elle), factors such as raw materials, craftsmanship, and labor contribute to the Birkin's cult bag iconography. With these, plus a relatively low supply volume, it's only economical to charge as much as consumers are willing and able to.
Frankly, I don't want to get into the whole hype. I like it, but don't love it. But if you insist going broke for the Birkin, go find out more fun facts about it on StyleBible.ph

hermes ohhh yes, though its not my style =|
oh PS: maybe he just got circumcised hence the skirt lmao hahahaha
HAHA, I like that circumcised comment, Trish. Well, MJ decided to wear a skirt/kilt coz supposedly it's his summer obsession. A manifestation that women's fashion is crossing over to men's. :)
Hey I'm one of those people who hype about Hermes Birkin bag. Only, I can't afford it! Haha. It's friggin expensive, you're right! Well such is the case because for one, it's made of genuine leather from someplace exotic, according to what I heard huh? And of course, it's by Hermes. He's like, the Zeus of fashion, at least for me! :P
