birkin and kelly
I never knew what the difference between a Kelly and a Birkin is. In fact i never noticed the existance of Kelly. Heh. Kampung.
So I googled and I found a blog with interesting info about both bags as well as the differences.
About both bags:
+Prices for both begin around $7,000 and can go well beyond $50,000
+Part of the price of all Hermès bags is the privilege to bring it into any boutique to be sent to Paris for a “spa treatment” where the bag, no matter how old or abused, will be bought back to the best possible condition…for an additional cost of several hundred dollars
+Both bags can be customized to the buyers specifications
+Locks and keys are number-coded
+Lining is usually made of goat skin that matches the color of the exterior skin
+Identifiable by their metal-tipped clasp, which can be closed with a tiny padlock (and the clasp’s hidden key often dangles from the handle in a leather sheath of its own)
+Not sold online and never ever will be
+Famous for their waiting lists
– Remember on Sex and the City when Samantha used Lucy Liu’s name
to score the red one faster?
The Hermès Kelly Bag:
+ Named after Grace Kelly
+ Became famous in 1956 when Grace Kelly (then Princess of Monaco) used one to shield her pregnant stomach from the prying eyes of the paparazzi
+ More formal than the Birkin
+ Comes in 5 different sizes
(although possibly more from looking at the Fall runway show)
+ It takes a single craftsman about 18 hours to make one
+ The waiting list for the Kelly it is 3-4 yearsEven that is the minimum. Could be longer.Crazy isn't it?
The Hermès Birkin Bag:
+Named after Jane Birkin (who has an interesting history with the company)
+5 Birkins are produced a week at the Hermès Atelier in Paris
+More casual than the Kelly & has a slightly younger more bohemian appeal
+With an open top, it is easier to open than the Kelly
+Both Jay-Z and Lil’ Kim have both rapped about the Birkin
+The waiting list for the Kelly it is 1 - 2 years.

Anyway, go google 'Private Hermes Collection'. A woman named Katherine owns 74 Hermes bags. Katherine is a lucky lady, but Gila! With the money she spent, boleh beli tanah siap buat rumah 4 tingkat..
But Victoria Beckhams has more than Katherine. She is rumoured to have 100 Hermes bags.
I doubt I would ever afford to buy one..;) if mampu pun, should i? Super mahal.
but, but, but...dream big, I would love to be able to buy one of these as a 30th birthday present for myself nanti. Hahaha. Sempat kumpul duit kan? Tk pon beli yg fake je lah, or the one with no brand at all. Bangsar banyak..;)
