Hermes Post #7

When I travel, I lug everything with me in a big bulky case that’s covered with stickers of all the causes I believe in, and I also take my Birkin bag everywhere. I actually designed the bag on an aeroplane, sitting next to Mr Dumas-Hermès. He made it for me and asked if he could commercialise it, given that it was such a beautiful bag, and I felt proud. Afterwards, it became an enormous success, and people started to say things to me like, “Oh, you’re Birkin, like the bag?” which was annoying.

Now, I auction off my Birkin every year and give the proceeds to charity. I’m glad Hermès lets me donate my bags to a worthy cause. The last one went for £40,000.’ Courtesy of www.timesonline.co.uk

Tom Cruise's wife, Katie Holmes with a 50cm HAC, which is a higher version of the Hermes Birkin. Both versions of the bags are equally hot, and so far, I only have one HAC in 40cm. The rest are Birkins.
