Victoria Beckham, Hermes Birkins, Mad Mad World


Oh boy...don't we just envy this woman! She's got the look, she's got the body (eventhough to me she's too skinny), she's got the b**bs (eventhough they are fake), she's got the money, she's got the fame, she's got the style (love her BIG shades collections!), she's got a very good looking husband with also lots of money and above all, she's got lots and lots of Birkins!! Some even says that she owns more than 100 Birkin bags that are worth more than 1.5 million pound sterling!!


Of course, Victoria a.k.a POSH is not the one to settle for a basic Birkin which price starts around 4,200pounds...but has been regularly seen carrying around the more luxurious versions in pink ostrich skin and glossy black crocodile (worth up to 42,000pounds - the one in pink pictured below, center) as well as the rare Silver Himalayan style (worth 80,000pounds - pictured below, right ), comes complete with 3-carat diamonds!


While the bag may cost as much as a small car, but it has been said that the bag is truly an 'investment' piece. The style will remain for decades, and certainly the Birkin is a proof of this with the waiting list of up to 3 years! Madness isn't it? A spokesperson for Hermes explained that the lengthy production times were due to a combination of the advanced craftmanship involved in making the bag and also the limited availability of particular skins and colors.


For the lucky owners, the bag will not depreciate in value....like cars. Sebabnya, the long wait list! Desperate fashionistas yang tak sabar-sabar nak memiliki beg ni akan membuatkan auction houses and second-hand boutiques boleh jual beg ni at a price slightly lower than the current market price. And for those who lack the funds to buy the bag, can always buy ciplak ones hire from sites such as BagBorrowSteal, and the site is currently listing the 2004 Black Crocs Birkin for rent, for around 1,700pounds a week!! *madness* Not sure whether there's such company in Malaysia.


Phew..... it is indeed a mad mad world out there...but I love Victoria (we all do don't we?) and will always love the Birkin! Till then, Adios...

A lady can't have too many bags, no?

But sometimes, I feel an ache inside. The bags she owns could probably feed a small country.

But that's the world of the rich and fabulous, huh?

I agree with Ms Lime :)

One thing that I need to learn from Posh..how to walk in those skyscraper (to me lahh) heels! My hubby gave me a super high wedges for our anniversary & sampai sekarang I tak pakai2 lagi eeeekkk...kekok..!

Ms Lime : yeap that's the world of the rich and famous but maybe she thinks that she had done the charity part and still have 'extra' money to spend..and that's when the Birkin and other lux comes ! Hehehe

Real Woman said...

soho mama : walking in sky high wedges is not as bad as walking in those tiny skyscaper heels. U should give it a try. To me, when it comes to heels, it has to be those chunky ones baru selesa nak jalan. Hehehe

Miss Lime said...

Skyscraper heels are uber-sexy la... I love heels. Used to be able to run around in them when I was in uni. Now, I can feel the ache in my bones when I walk in them. Old already kot. Going to work with high heels taking public transportation could be a pain. So now, I leave my sky scrapers in the office while I just slip on my comfy Crocs for the journey. =D

Real Woman said...

Ms Lime : hahaha dont we all just love heels! It makes our legs appear longer and makes us look leaner! Yea when talk about comfort..nothing can beat Crocs and Maryjanes! hehehe
