I have a bit of an addiction for bags, OH thinks I am obsessed and really does not get it at all, well that's men for you! he even mentioned it in his speech 'she is known for her extraordinary level of attention to detail and can spot a fake Louis Vuitton at 200yards!' anyway I love the birkin and have been looking in vain for a well made, leather birkin bag for ages and can only seem to find cheap looking replicas. As replicas go, I would rather not have a replica if I can't afford the real thing but with the Birkin, I would never spend that kind of money on a bag (£5k starting price at Hermes) plus I really just love the style of it and don't love it 'just because it is Hermes' IFYSWIM.
So I wondered if any of you lovely ladies had one and if so can you please share where you got it? I have seen some people around with what look like lovely versions that aren't Hermes so I presume they do exist somewhere! The decent versions are very stiff leather like this, there are lots of floppy ones around which look naff. ?
