Hermes Black Birkin Bag


(*Sigh)... The Hermes "Birkin" bag.... This is one of the most exclusive purses ever... Why? First you must know that the "Birkin" bag was named after an actress and singer Jane  Birkin. These bags are scarce and  super exclusive, some people may even have to be in a waiting list before buying the bag. They are completely handmade, it takes 48 man-hours to make and they are distributed to Hermes boutiques unpredictably and in limited quantities, making it even more exclusive and of course scarce. It is made out of the most expensive saltwater crocodile skin, the lining is typically goat skin and the metallic hardware are plated with gold or other precious metals.
You can even send them to their own private "spa" to condition and restore them. And all this for "only" ( sarcasm) minimum $9,000.00 + tax... depending on the size, style and crocodile skin you choose.
