Approaching Perfection, Fast

Oct 22, 2009 / Posted in Hermes Handbags, Shutterbags by Vlad Dusil.

Hermes Birkin, 35cm, Clemence in Black

There was a hope that Megs’ Blue Jean Birkin was going to get a sibling during this NYC trip. I didn’t know she was going to turn out so beautifully photogenic. More info and pictures later this week.

    • Amanda Mull says:

      Yep, it’s Hermes. I’m not overly familiar with their pricing structure, but Birkins usually start in the $6,000-$7,000 range.

      • Allan says:

        Yeah, and this one is a 35 cm so it’s around $9000. :-)

    Sorry the bag looks boring. It’s the wonderful swivel door (is that what it is??) in the background that makes the pic striking, though.

    There is no longer a waiting list. They are placed on the shelves and you can walk in and purchase one. Everytime I have gone into the Rodeo Drive store, they have had at least two on the shelves. You can also special order one.

    • JW says:

      Yeah. The birkins are more readily available. That has been the case for some time now. But some stores will still take down a customer’s info if they have a particular color they are interested in purchasing.

    Lucky, lucky girl… what a beautiful bag!

    I think am finally ready for my first birkin but really want a JPG one. Does anyone know what a JPG Birkin retails for? Can I just walk into a store and buy it?

    Reply Oct 22, 2009 8:43PM
    • Vlad Dusil says:

      I am pretty sure I saw a creme-colored JPG Kelly at the Wall Street NYC store just a few days ago. May want to call them, if interested. I believe that the JPG Birkin is no longer in production, only for special order.

      • Kat says:

        Thanks Vlad. That helps! Do you have any idea of the price point on the JPG Kelly?

        I am afraid I don’t know. I can inquire, though.

    Can someone zoom in on the suspected elephant charm on the bag? Is it a lock or a bag charm?
