Ashley Tweeted a pic with the caption reading: “After two years of waiting the New York Hermes store came through!! Aaahhh!!”
2 years is a long time, but it’s not that bad considering the fact that there is a 6-year wait list for the bag– the longest wait for any bag in history.
Every time I hear a story about a Birkin bag; I automatically remember the episode from Sex and the City when Samantha used her client Lucy Liu to get herself a Birkin. Basically, this bag is extremely hard to get.
So why is this handbag so special? The Birkin bag is a handmade purse by Hermès and named after actress and singer Jane Birkin. The bag is a symbol of wealth due to its high price and elusiveness to the public.
Depending on the material of the bag, prices range from $9,000 to $150,000.
