Rich B**** Alert: Vintage Hermès Auction

Hermes Birkin - Ostrich


Moda Operandi teamed up with Heritage Auctions to offer fashionistas an extraordinary collection of vintage Hermès bags.

Hermès designs some of the most well-crafted, elusive bags in the world, and every women is clamoring to get their hands on one.

Hermes Birkin



The Birkin style is the most popular design from Hermès. It is a relatively large handbag, which can measure anywhere from 25 to 55 centimeters. Jean-Louis Dumas designed the bag for Jane Birkin, who was struggling to find a chic leather bag for weekend wear.

The Kelly bag is easily the second most coveted design from Hermès. It was renamed after Grace Kelly, who adored the ladylike design. Each bag takes 18 hours to make.

All Hermès bags are handcrafted out of the finest leathers or exotic skins, and feature gold-plated or palladium hardware. Some custom designs even have diamond encrusted hardware.

Hermès bags are the ultimate in luxury leather goods, and they're well worth the investment. In fact, at any time one can send their bag to the Atelier in Paris for repair or refurbishing.

do u know that birkin owners in asia experience the same shit after prolonged use of this bag,they hv joint and elbow pains due to the way they carry the bag..i preferred kelly which way more practical than a birkin.

That is so funny that you say that BB, because Jane Birkin actually stopped wearing her bag, after complaining about joint pain. Maybe Hermes should stop lining it with leather, opting instead for a lighter material. My favorite Hermes design is the Medor clutch, but I love the Kelly bag too.
