Guess who else carries his Hermes Birkin as a beach bag?

Back in February we posted pictures of Kim Kardashian carrying her Hermes Birkin not only to the beach, but also placing her bag right in the sand. Many of us gasped at the site of a $10,000 bag being plopped into a pile of sand, me included. I find myself to be so meticulous when it comes to taking care of my bags. Maybe I have it truly wrong, maybe I should carry my expensive bags to the beach and let them get a little dirty. After all, Kim isn’t the only one that does it… a famous designer does as well.

Can you Name That Guy?


If you guessed Marc Jacobs, you are correct! These pictures are a bit old, but it shows that the famed designer behind both his eponymous brand and Louis Vuitton sees no problem in taking his bag to the beach and putting it next to him in the sand. Marc didn’t even want his Birkin to sit on his Stephen Sprouse x Louis Vuitton Limited Edition towel. No, no no, that would not be a good place for it – but the sand is!

I grew up a few minutes away from the beach so I could call myself a beach girl. No matter how many Birkins I ever own, I still can’t imagine flinging them into the dirt. Have you ever dug through the sand? Trust me, there are all sorts of interesting things and sea animals lurking.

Me, I’m still just happy that MJ carries a Birkin around. 😀 I know he always does, but it’s always nice to see a guy carry a Birkin.

I’m a guy with a large Birkin collection. Most I
Of my Birkins are 30s and 25s.
But I rarely work because of an 11 letter word that stats with I and ends with E.

Well, it is a expensive bag, but at the same time, a bag is to be used.  Hermes is the best of the best, the leather can withstand a little sand.  When I buy my Birkin, (lord willing!) I won’t baby it, but I might not use it as a beach bag!!!!!

Marc did this way before Kim did, it did gain some attention when it happened it was nothing compared to when Kim did it.  But then again he doesn’t live his live in front of a camera 24/7 and pay paparazzi to photograph his every move he possesses a actual talent to make money and doesn’t have to exploit his every move to keep himself relevant.

A year or two a go, he was photographed at the beach with an Ivory Passy LV bag…I comforted myself with “at least he’s the designer; he probably gets them for free or something.”

I can’t do that with this one. At least I don’t want a Birkin – it’s not as painful to see as the Passy was.

I remember seeing these pics . . . MJ is a talented person, he puts something into the world, so I don’t really care if he uses a Birkin as a toilet.

As I already told you it’s a matter of mind. You have in mind that your bag costs a lot of money (and you have not so much money) and you have to take care of it. That’s wrong—> the law of attraction says if you FEEL rich you are rich, you become rich and, in this wonderful case you do not have to worry about a bag (believe me it’s just a bag) anymore…like them (marc and kim).
That’s the nicest thing and it happens if you allow it…

kellee

its a bag…. get over it ….. use the the damn thing …lol if you can buy it why not use it
the problem must be that you could not aford it … ….. that why you want
2 use them  for everthing…… i have 2 of them and i use it  some times for food shoping… their you go….
