Always wanted to get your hands on a famed Hermes Birkin bag, and have upwards of $7,000 to spend on one? Well then you’re in luck, because the brand’s infamous waiting list for the bag is no more. (Doesn’t everyone remember the SATC episode where Samantha name-dropped her way onto the top of the waiting list to get herself one of these status symbols?) These bags are available from Portero Luxury starting at a mere $6,895 for a violet suede Birkin in very good condition and range all the way up to $65,000 for a crocodile bag in pristine condition, making my favorite (this beautiful dove gray bag) look positively affordable, at only $15,000. No, none of these numbers are typos – and these are all for USED bags. But don’t worry; shipping is free on orders over $1,000. So gather up your life savings and get yourself down to Hermes for a Birkin bag. My only advice? Don’t take a Sharpie to yours like Lady Gaga did. That would certainly bring the value down.
