Hello, gorgeous! When we started our site, I hoped that by the time I was 40, I could afford a Birkin. That day came much sooner than I ever dreamed of, and I guess I wasn’t mentally prepared for what spending $10,000 on a luxury bag and some accessories would feel like. The truth is, I felt sick to my stomach!
But soon that feeling passed, and my first Birkin is a bag that holds so much meaning to me. I am proud that I could pay for this with money I made from this business that we created, and I knew I wanted an Hermès 30 cm Blue Jean Birkin with Palladium Hardware. When it was located for me, it felt like handbag fate. The Togo leather is beautiful – I mean look at the picture above! This bag is pristine because I don’t carry her much at all. I’m really a size 35 Birkin girl, and this one being a 30cm is just a bit too small for my frame and daily needs. If you feel like being my bag twin and grabbing a Blue Jean Birkin, check out the offerings at Fashionphile!
I mean, I know these are only mini reviews, but other than liking the color, this review says nothing. Sorry but it’s a swing and a miss, purseblog…
Yes, I agree with you, but I think the “mini preview” is a prelude or introduction for readers, who want more information, to follow the link to her video where she gives a more in depth, interesting review.
Yes, that was the goal with these!
Do you think you’ll ever sell this Birkin to buy a Birkin 35? I’m only asking because I bought a 30 and in the moment thought it would work, but felt awkward carrying it since I’m 5’10”. I returned it and bought a 35, which feels more comfortable to me.
it would be more useful to find out how the purse has held over the years, what you like and dislike about the purse after living with her for years, is it something you would buy again today given the current economic situation/pandemic etc
I touch on most of this in the videos I link for each mini review, but I’ll be sure to include more here going forward as well!
I’ll add more to each going forward! I started this series on Instagram during our stay home orders to share a new bag from my collection each day. I talk more about each bag in the videos I linked, but since I know not all of you are on Instagram, I wanted to share a bit more here and give you the link if you want to watch.
However, I will add more to these reviews on site so you can get a bit more info right here!
I think it’s a bit confusing. I wasn’t really sure what to do w your article until I read the comments. I love PB but I did get turned around here. ??
The link isn’t really clear where it would lead. Maybe you can say view my video on YouTube or IG..? I clicked and I landed on an IG page for sports highlights.
Really?! Link should send you straight to my video – if it’s not, it defeats the purpose of me sharing it! Wonder if it only works if you’re signed in (which would be so lame). Let me look into it!

Link doesn’t work for me
I would never spend 10k on a purse unless I had kartrashian cash sitting around. Plus I associate it with their ill begotten riches, excess and questionable taste so no.
Wow, ok then. You do realize that your comment above says way more about you than the bag, Megs or the Kardashians right?
You do realize she’s also entitled to her opinion just as much as you are yours, right?? And I agree with the Kar-TRASH-ian assessment: No talent; famous for being famous and launched her “career” by making a sex tape that (opps-sies!) “got” out in the public realm…. “If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.”
Which is fine! There are just classier / more tactful ways to express opinions. This is about Megs’ experience with getting her holy grail bag, which we all remember & were so excited for HER. And of course we all don’t buy Hermes unless we have that amount of cash sitting around! Smh.
That made me laugh!
Eh, that’s why we all can choose what we like and what we’d like to spend!
Oh my this color was my exact first choice too 10 years ago when i was in college but for the last 2 years i have been wanting an orange birkin. And hopefully next year i will be able to buy my very first birkin. Its about time after 30 designer bags this and the kelly are the only missing pieces in my closet.
What color hardware with the orange are you thinking? Such a great, classic H color!
I’m sure the video is great, but it would be helpful if you gave a short summary here or a link to an article here rather than only linking to an IG video — you have to be signed up to IG to view and believe it or not, there are PB followers who aren’t interested in joining IG. Unless the whole point of this series is just to drive readers to your IG account which, fair enough, but add a disclaimer about the limited access to the top of each of these posts.
Can I just comment on how gorgeous those veins are??????
It would be nice to see some WIMB posts. And truthful ones, not Instagram versions where only the good & pretty things are shown… 😉
