Not going to lie, I used to think Alec was a douche but since he's opened his RUclips channel I got to see another side of him and I actually think he's pretty polite and down-to-earth... Thanks for showing us
Buys 15k bag... “Too simple, need to spend more money to fix it” , dude “I painted cartoons on it now it’s worth this random price” what a crazy world we live in.
Every artist has their own style and concept of art. However, if I want my Birkin bag to be painted, I will let Heart Evangelista to paint on it. Her style is classy and it suits the bag, especially it's a classy, expensive bag. Your art is good but you can find other "canvass" that suits for your artwork.
I was just about to say.. there was a woman that helped Hermès design that bag while on a flight....its intention was to be more “functional”... he literally just made that story up
The CEO of Hermes at the time ran into Jane Birkin on a flight and she complained about her current bag not being practical so he edited the HAC bag that they already had in their archives into what is now the Birkin. Comes in sizes 25,30,35,40 and 50. Cheapest one is only about $8500 in France. Hand stitched by one person. Second hand market is incredible because you can’t go into the store and just buy one. They’re not available all the time and for everyone. Most sight after size at the moment is the 25. The Kelly was originally named Sac A Depeche and was made in the 30s but the name was changed to Kelly in the 70s after Grace Kelly was spotted using it after she fell in love with it on the set of Alfred Hitchcock’s “To Catch A Thief”. Edith Head was responsible for wardrobe. And THAT is how it’s done.
@@Juli_-se4lg Nope. still worth 15k just less because there is bullshit all over it. Rich ass people dont buy this crap... poor people like you want it for some reason.
So glad you’re posting on YT these days Alec! Been a fan of your work for years now. I once saw you cranking out a new mural in Miami during Art Basel - it was a beautiful sight. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life man!
Great video as always Alec! The Birkin Bag was actually developed when Jean-Louis Dumas (chief executive of Hermès at the time) happened to witness Jane Birkin's stuff fall out of her straw bag while on a plane. Birkin and Dumas bounced ideas off each other regarding the specifications of a better travel bag, and the rest is history.
I believe the HAC was mentioned in regards to saddle. Hermes began as a harness maker, and the Evelyne was for carrying sweaty scurfy brushes. The lore gets mixed up by folkks.
The juxtaposition of him spraying these bags makes me smile. Just the fact that there isn't another one of those Birkins in the world makes it rarer on an already rare bag. All these comments on ''If I had to paint my Birkin..'' I have this to say - splish splash your opinion is trash
i’m not gonna try and hate on him, like everyone else has, but your story is a bit off. it’s okay that you don’t all the exact info on a birkin, but if you are going to be customizing these bags, i would suggest you learn the right facts. the bag was named after jane birkin, bc she helped design it. the original bags were not called the birkin, and were actually large travel bags. it’s almost impossible to buy a bag straight from hermès. the only way you are going to buy one straight from the store, is if they offer it to you. even when they offer you a bag, it’s probably not going to be the exact leather, color, hardware, size, etc that you wanted. there are different theories on how to get one offered to you, but the most popular theories are: 1) buying thousands and thousands of dollars in hermès products, or 2) having a great sale associate contact. overall i love your work. many people believe that your style doesn’t belong on birkin, because of their high value and class, but i believe that your work really juxtaposes the bag. they are two worlds of art that i love: high class fashion, and graffiti. keep up with your work, but please learn a bit more about the bags, and brands that you are painting on. there is a lot of history that you may not know.
As a painter you need to be focus and he works with spray that is super toxic. It may look easy but when you are painting specially a "expensive bag" you don't want to make a mistake.
Always love your stuff alec. Been a long distance student of yours for almost 10 years now. I wish I had the supplies and materials to create how you are able to. Great bags man.
Paint job was sloppy. I was an art student, no such thing as getting too tired to complete art----you get in the zone and complete the artwork. If I owned these birkins I would be disappointed. But then again, I guess I would just paint it myself.
Hey u look totally different with ur hair cut❣️ I've always admired ur art! To see u with Josh Altman was a treat❣️ As far as these bags$$$Wow ( I had a bag 2 yrs ago looked so close to this bag) Hummm😄🤣😃😁
"You know what" cut to: "Birkin tiiiime" haha great transition man. Also Alec, would love a look into how you execute your resin canvases. That'd be sick! The content is fire so far guys, keep it up!
Please tell me what house wife (majority of owners of these bags) would rather walk out of the house with spray paint all over their bag? Lmaooo wtff 😂🤣
I dont get the fuzz, I think the paint job wasnt good. Tattooers work on a more precious and difficult medium everyday: Skin! And for hours without complaining. The pictures they can create on the human canvas look so much more better and clean...I got Dürer and Boticelli on my skin and my artist did an outstanding job! Sorry, I would be dissapointed to get these bags, I would wish the craft was more preceise:(

Hey partner just bought a cvo all white road glide Harley Davidson. Adding about another 60k into after market parts. I would really love for you to paint it. I could send my bike to la if needed.
1:15 No sir. The Birkin started as the HAC. It was meant to hold a saddle. Jane Birkin asked for a bag similar to HAC and the rest is history. The kelly is a different story.
Everyone’s hating on him for spraying a Birkin but it’s art and everyone has they’re own interpretations of it, the fact he used graffiti on such and expensive bag is a statement that not everyone can understand.
first time I've heard of you, thank you algorithm gods...bing! like, subscribe and i will now continue to binge your work and on various social media platforms. ya dig!
I like what you did to those bags, however not everyone will respect the part of your hustle where your bringing elite luxury products to a more street level. For that reason I respect it even more, it caters to the younger generation of rich kids who want to experience that sort of freedom.
just a bit of an English lesson you painted palace of Westminster not big ben, big ben is a bell that is inside Westminster palace tower. great video amazing work I wish all the best in the future true art. love from England
Why does this have to be like a flex vlog lmao. Let your art speak for itself. I literally just wanted to see you paint on these bags when I clicked and I would probably have mad respect for you if this was literally just a process vlog and a time lapse with some nice shot showing your work but I think your spoiled girlfriend got more screen time than the actual pieces.

Rattling Gemini i agree!!
NAH ITS ALL BOUT THE MONEY IMAGE!!!!!!SOLDI SOLDI GELD CASH ❕
Same thoughts !
i agree but not your bag...someone hired him
Rattling Gemini I totally disagree
OMG that story is totally off about how the Birkin bag was made
I cringed when he gave the "history"
Jcp Madonna IKR i cringed so hard 😬😬
Jane Birkin, please arrest this maaaan!
Jcp Madonna I can’t . I just can’t
Jcp Madonna so is your makeup
Heart Evangelista is also a painter for Hermes bags🙂
I was about to comment that!
So is Rosalio Vargas duh 😒
Uhmmmmm. Story about the Birkin kinda off...
He made that up on the fly, right outta his ass.
I was just about to say.. there was a woman that helped Hermès design that bag while on a flight....its intention was to be more “functional”... he literally just made that story up

And THAT is how it’s done.
Lol hahaha my thoughts exactly
Rose Gold it wasn’t a women that helped design it per se. It was Jane Birkin that requested a bag and an Hermes HAC bag was modified and made for her.
This is a disaster! Poor birkin bags!
I think you just ruined the bags. If I were to paint my Hermes bag i would let Heart Evangelista to do it, unfortunately i dont have 😂😂😂😂
twas 15k a bag....after this guy touches it..... it's worth.....less....
More dumbass
@@sandiego1936 no les idiot, those bags were 20k .now there maybe 3k
Dylanmast_ 0493 with the painting they Are up to 90k
@@Juli_-se4lg Nope. still worth 15k just less because there is bullshit all over it. Rich ass people dont buy this crap... poor people like you want it for some reason.

There’s no mistakes in art is so 💯
But career choices are tricky at times

They’re fake. I have worked for Hermès and can tell they are not real. Though the art is amazing, you could have warned us.
Raph Prins Definitely fake.
@@yola4297 That's what poor people say ooooh it's fake because they can't afford them.
@@sandiego1936 We’re a patron at Hermès Greenbelt in Manila. How come I can’t afford them? Lol.
@@sandiego1936 Bold of you to assume I’m poor. ALSO, I was not hating. Just stating that it’s fake. How in the world did it assumed my social group?

Joe Perdue it’s based off of an HAC which was used to carry around Saddles. So he’s not wrong. But he’s also not right lol
First of all, the history is wrong. Second, those bags are fake the dimensions look so off.
they're authentic, fake bags don't have leather that supple (unless you're buying a $2K fake). He's also pretty well known for painting birkins
Ryan B obv they ain’t real 😂🤣
Of course they're fake
I hope they are, I'd be an abomination to destroy those birkins with such an ordinary paintings.
ChibiDesigns 😹😹😹😹
THE HERMES BIRKIN BAG WAS NOT FOR THE HORSE SADDLE LOL
🤢
I believe the HAC was mentioned in regards to saddle. Hermes began as a harness maker, and the Evelyne was for carrying sweaty scurfy brushes. The lore gets mixed up by folkks.
RIP Birkins. I hope the owners wont die after seeing the end result
Wtf lol
for people who like your art and ordered them on their bags i'm sure they LOVED it!! ignore all these comments- thanks for sharing!
This is adorable!! Love your work and the passion you put into painting those bags. I would wear them at the office 😍
you’re a fool if you think the painting appreciated the value of those bags haha
They're fakes
@@zamorapakalolo6699 That's what poor people say ooooh it's fake because they can't afford them.

Alec makes this look so effortless. Love you guys 💕
That was so wrong about how the birkin bag was made it was made on a flight with an actress describing her perfect bag
T B true true
so hyped you started vlogging
Thank you.. Theres no mistakes in art
What type of paints do you use hon?
I want one. I want one now. So glad I came across this artist. He's insanely talented. Love his work. I still want one >.
Hermès isn’t that rare, it’s just hard to buy directly from the store. I would say the bag is more exclusive than rare.
does the paint wash off if you wash your bags?
Im sorry but miss Heart Evangelista does it better. Yall should check her works. 💜
I’m sorry, but Rosalio Vargas does it better. Y’all should check his works. 💜
Always love your stuff alec.
Been a long distance student of yours for almost 10 years now. I wish I had the supplies and materials to create how you are able to. Great bags man.
Absolutely beautiful Alec! I wish i could have the brown one! And nice to see that you have soemeone who is filming you with professional gear!
Imangine sneezing while doing this
What year did you start painting Hermes??
Paint job was sloppy. I was an art student, no such thing as getting too tired to complete art----you get in the zone and complete the artwork. If I owned these birkins I would be disappointed. But then again, I guess I would just paint it myself.
What kind of paint you use for the bags
Alec Monopoly is a Fkn GOOON! Definitely my fav artist! ....also love how honest and informing he is with us!
vicki kastrati you know that he is a copycat ?
Floris ten Hagen haterz will Hate.
love your dedication to art!
Art? He did nothing original just cartoon characters, then shapes. Even his paintings are a copy of something someone else has done. Smh.
Think you need to do some history on the birkin
Nice Work in those bags Alec!! You are a great artist!
Which brush was that used for the fine black outlines? Also - did you seal the paint job you did on the bags?
The brown Hermes bag? Wow, looks great! 🔥
Where did you get that hat at 11:17?
Hey u look totally different with ur hair cut❣️ I've always admired ur art! To see u with Josh Altman was a treat❣️ As far as these bags$$$Wow ( I had a bag 2 yrs ago looked so close to this bag) Hummm😄🤣😃😁
i am very confident in my art work but i dont know if i can paint on a $15,000 bag without being nervous!!!
How do I contact you to get 2 of my Birkin 40’s painted?
Love
if you simply squeeze the metal bar on top of the mask...it will prevent it from falling or drooping down your nose.
Don’t mess up these 15k Birkenstock’s bags. “No mistakes in art” LMFAOOO
"You know what" cut to: "Birkin tiiiime" haha great transition man.
Also Alec, would love a look into how you execute your resin canvases. That'd be sick!

Yes bro that’s it!!!!! Your truly an inspiration
Im a big fan of your work 💯💯💯
So painting them cost around 30k USD? Damn thats a good business. Keep up the good work 👌🏻
this was the cringiest thing i’ve seen and all this guy did was complain. the history of the bag was entirely inaccurate. wow.
Gary Simcox Gayr , you'll never be able to own or touch anything even half the value of a birkin bag. So shut your gayr ass down.
Gary Simcox he just didn’t care for the history of the bag
Vi3tKid420 someone got sensitive
What did he complain about
Vi3tKid420 you’re the one acting gay by attacking a man that is just giving his thoughts. How does this make you feel ?
How are you able to paint monopoly man and donald duck? Isn't there a copyright on those?
Soooo much pressure!!! Reality u can't go wrong with ur talent❣️
Please tell me what house wife (majority of owners of these bags) would rather walk out of the house with spray paint all over their bag? Lmaooo wtff 😂🤣

Why is it important to have this bag? Marketing ?
Real writers wanna see you in the cut.
Heart Evangelista does painting on Hermès too!💖🌹
My heart beats fast when he dropped the birkins ....
Damm your art is good I wish my hand was as steady as yours
You don't spray things with a "protectant "...?
Those paintings aren't suitable to Birkin. It is kinda off from the classy look of the bag.. Heart Evangelista would do better...
