The Birkin Bag... What's The Deal?
The price for a Hermes Birkin handbag starts at several thousand dollars and can reach as high as 6 figures, and even if you have the money to spend, the waiting list is often 2 years!
The Birkin Bag was named after Jane Birkin, a British singer and actress who was born in France.
Where Did It Come From?
In 1981 Jane Birkin was aboard a flying plane when she dropped her handbag and all of the contents spilled onto the floor. The President of Hermes was seated nearby, and witnessed the incident. He then offered to produce a line of bags named after her. An amusing sidenote is that she had to pay for her own bag once it was produced!

I don't know any gal who can afford, or who would spend this type of money on a handbag. I read somewhere that Victoria Beckham has spent over $100,000 on Birkin bags. Lucky rich her. Please check out my Squidoo lens on quality replica handbags
