It's Monday once again. I'm excited because that means I only have 4 more days of work, and then I'm off for 2 weeks! Yippeee! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I finished my shopping, wrapping, and pretty much everything I needed to. All that's left is my Christmas cards.
If I could have anything I wanted from Santa, I'd say I dream of a Birkin bag. I will probably never have the chance to even borrow one, let alone own one, but a girl can dream. The Birkin bag is a handmade bag made by Hermes and is named after actress Jane Birkin. The bag is definitely a symbol of wealth, since not many of the public can afford it at prices ranging from $9,000 to $150,000. The bag is so famous, that there is even an entire book dedicated to it! (Bringing Home the Birkin).
So, I ask. Do any of you have one? If you do, please share all the details. If you don't, what color do you dream of, and how can we get one? Have a great day, and don't forget to check back tomorrow for some fabulous guest bloggers!

OMG, that orange one is great! They are beautiful. I just wouldn't spend that much on a bag...
One of my goals in life is to own a camel colored Birkin bag. :)
They look so yummy!!! I want a cognac colored one! So chic! I'll probably never have one either, maybe if I become a celebrity! Haha

Hey Kori! If I had the opportunity to own one, it would definitely not be in black. Love the pink one you featured and I love it in orange. Also so an alligator skinned one. They're awesome.

i want the pink one...
ENJOY YOUR DAYS OFF!!!!!

It is definitely a classic and a symbol/icon for sure. To tell you the truth though for that price I would rather buy a different bag. May be I would feel different if I had that kind of disposable income not sure.
I do love the embossed kind though in burgundy.

two weeks off...jealous! My break cannot come soon enough.
the birkin is just hands down amazing...so iconic. I believe my sister may have a black one!
sighhhhh... one day! i have always wanted a classic black but after seeing the pink one in the first pic! hmmm decisions decisions! think i will have time to mull this one over lol have a great week kori!
Oh goodness, I die. I'll never come close to owning one, but if so I'd love it in a classic brown to go with EVERYTHING! But then again, I'd prob be too afraid to leave the house with it. Hahaha!
I don't have one but I would DIE for a pink crocodile one!
Stumbled across your blog and love it!! If I could have a Birkin bag I would definetely want a pink one!! New follower....

My dad gave my mom and I Birkin bags for Christmas last year. We were both shocked Dad knew enough about bags/fashion to think of it, and we both felt so lucky to be given such a gift... We spent most of Christmas morning in tears!! :)
Mom's is black croc... Mine is the black pebbled leather. They are beautiful bags, but I'm always paranoid about carrying mine!! I need to get over it because it's such a waste to just let it SIT there!!
If you (or anyone else) is in the market I would definitely suggest createursdeluxe.com. That is where my dad purchased ours... There is NO Birkin waiting list and there are also vintage Hermes bags (Kelly and Birkin) if that's what you're in the market for!! Either way, it's a fun site to check out and drool over :)
There are also plenty of Birkin-esque bags now... You can get the classic look of a Birkin without spending an arm and a leg!!
Hope this helps anyone who's looking for one!!

I won't be picky. Any color will do. However, my dream Birkin would be tan. I'd make that baby work with every outfit. That baby pink one is super pretty too.
Beloved indeed! I've been admiring them on "Selling New York," they all carry them! :)

gorgeous colors, all of them! what i would do for a birkin!

Love the Birkin It's gorgeous, but nothing has my heart quite like the Louis Speedy. But I definitely wouldn't turn down a Birkin if it were the right price.
I had a dream once that my BFF and I went shopping and bought ourselves Birkin bags. But that was and will always be...just a dream. LOL!! If I won the lotto, I'd buy one...in black! ;)
Wow those bags are amazing! I love the blue one!
Definitely on my dream list too!!

Totally one of my dreams. Baby blue or orange would be my choice.
I don't own one but I have held one (and pretended it was mine)...for like a minute.

forever and always on my wish list!

I've always loved the dark blue Birkin but the pink one you posted is too cute!
Oh the Birkin is my dream bag too... well aside from my Chanel which I managed to convince my dad to buy me but I don't think I'll be so lucky with a birkin!!!
Have you read this book?

what cool pictures! I would love a Birkin too, but I just don't know if I could justify it even if I could afford it!
