I guess it’s every lady’s dream to one day own a Hermes Birkin. I’m very happy with my Bow bag by Marc Jacobs (although I’ve only used it once!!!), my patent Pauric Sweeney and my ridiculously large collection of vintage designer bags, but a Birkin is a Birkin. And a Kelly…is also a Kelly.
As you already know, the Birkin is named after Jane Birkin (who was the hottest chick the 70’s, and she’s one sweet French lady who can sing) and the Kelly is named after the Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly (who I think was probaby the most beautiful woman in the 20th century). Do you know who’s carrying the Kelly and who’s carrying the Birkin in the following pictures?
*sigh* The beautiful Olivia Palermo…could they be Repetto ballet flats?
By the looks of things, all of these ladies are carrying Birkins except the lady in the 3rd picture, carrying a Kelly.
Put your hand up if you want one! Now put your other hand up if you would like to have a bag named after you!

I like how all the bags are very simple and has only one colour.
The Birkin is such a classic. I’m a lover of simple, elegant and spacious bags, and that would totally be the perfect bag for me. If I only had enough founds… Maybe someday I will be able to own one! :) So, raising one hand!
(Nice blog by the way, I’m following you from now!)
