HOTD #18 – Hermés Birkin

I wrote earlier about how I don’t buy mirror copy fakes which represent themselves as the real thing right down to the logos, receipts, boxes, serial numbers and tags. But, long long ago, I bought 4 fake Hermés Birkins which are so beautiful that I have never been able to part with them. I don’t use them but they are tucked away in my cupboard and I look at them now and then.

A Birkin is something I will never own as they are way out of my price range. Even though they are an investment and nearly always resell for their purchase price, it is not something I would even consider buying. I love the style and I think they are beautiful but I can’t see myself ever buying one or even being able to accept such an expensive gift.

Anyway, here are my four little bags of shame.
