JPG's New "Birkin" Bag

[morgan38]

don't like the new style...but then again I always thought Birkins were a tad overrated

I love the shoulder birkin, it is very different from the classic one.

A nice size with BIG funky lock, much better than Chloe Paddington.

Finally - someone in my court! Regardless of what others think (and unfortunately on this particular thread, it's definitely the underdog), I absolutely L-O-V-E my JPG shoulder birkin. Yes, it was lots of dough but hey, you only live once!

P.S. This style is my personal favorite among the large variety of "carry-all" these days.

 

[Swank]

Did you get it from Hermes shop? May I ask what colour is it?

 

[hermes_lemming]

But of course - I refuse to pay the ridiculous markup on Ebay. Besides, part of the fun is the "chase". It's Rouge H w/ gold hardware.

 

[Swank]

Cool. I like the pumpkin orange (the new colour) with silver hardware.

love the birkin, but i never saw the appeal with these shoulder birkins..
it looks worse in person IMO..
saw someone carrying it.. looked kinda odd...

You know... I've concluded that those bags are definitely individualistic. Some consider them (birkins in general - regardless of old or new style) to be fugly or downright grandma-ish. Others love the classic style while some prefer the updated JPG version. It's whatever suits you...

I personally had the good fortune to adore two today - interestingly enough at the shoe department of my local Neiman Marcus. The first was a classic 35cm gold birkin w/ gold hardware. The second was Swank's dream bag - the pumpkin orange w/ silver hardware. And believe or not, both owners seem to be the same age range - late twenties, early thirties - looking quite chic!

As I was entering my local Hermes store there was a girl leaving the store with a orange JPG on her shoulder. Now this girl was asian and quite small, but the bag she had did not look big on her at all. Perhaps she has a smaller version. It definately was not the size in the pics posted before.
I love carrying bags on my shoulders so I can keep my hands free ...while shopping etc but I think I'd still prefer the classic birkin. The JPG is still a nice bag though.

I've seen one in a gold or cognac color (box leather) with the bottom half done in woven or braided leather...that looked good to me.

Meaning that we should have birkins in different sizes, colours and versions for different outfits!

The JPG one is not too big, much much better than the classic birkins in 40cm and 45cm.

Btw, I wear my classic ones on my shoulder, and they fit perfect.

I think it's a cute bag...replace it with a huge lock and you will see what this looks like...

Then you must be on the slender side.

I have to agree with your first statement, the JPG really isn't that big. For whatever reason, it just looks big in the pictures. For example, I'm quite a petite person (5'4 and willowly built) and the bag does not overwhelm my frame one bit.

 

[Swank]

yeah. you are right. 94 lb.

And I don't find JPG too big either ... only if i would be able to get one.

Wanted to share a pic of my new baby - 42cm Rouge H Clemence.

P.S. The color looks a bit bright due to the flash.

Enjoy!

 

[Swank]

Very pretty.

Brian- the pictures you posted are gorgeous!! Especially the one on the far right!!!!

i had a jpg orange birkin last november but i sold it because it was too large for me. maybe because i'm more petite, the bag is really overwhelming on me. i am a fan of the classic birkins though. i've got the 30cm and 35cm in quite a few colors.

hermes_lemming, your rouge birkin is gorgeous!!

 

[hermes_lemming]

You're so sweet, thank you. I'm more of the tall, petite build myself - which is why the JPG birkin looks okay on me. It evens out my willowy frame.
