I Would Like to share My thoughts With You here,
To be Honest I rarely use my Birkins These days,.Because I think They are now,especially in the Country where I live in,a 3rd world country with lots of new money kinda crowd that would go to any extent to be called "fashionable and "rich""
,the birkins have increasingly became overrated status symbol and stopped being appreciated for its quality and good taste
I used to feel sooo nice using my birkin,the feel of the luxurious leather and craftmanship blew me away,i treasured them so much because i remember how hard it was to get them,like my 1st gold birkin,i had to call up the milan shop like 30 times,checking everyday whether theres any "on the floor"birkin that people on the waiting list might have cancelled on buying.
and i waited exactly 2 years for my next one,
well i didnt have to do those things if i wanted to spend $15k on a togo birkin from a respected seller on the net,but i didnt do it because i think the price is too ridiculous.
But Now,let me tell you this,theres a Blackberry Messanger "Hermes Group" that i joined( i left the group a few days ago,because i got sick of seeing those bags everyday,
,can you believe it???
),that is sending me pictures of birkins and kellys for SALE
,like every hour,they will send me a few new pictures,its like over a 100 birkins available for sale in that group!! and some of them are Crocs,they are ALL Authentic,guaranteed,and the price eventho its surely above the boutique price,its a pretty reasonable price,its that "easy"now to get them if you have the money for it,sooo,its like when I go to a shopping centre now,I can see like 20 women carrying birkins in various colours,
So i dont feel that they are so "special" anymore,except that i will always treasure their craftmanship. Anybody here feels the same way????
