Watched both videos back to back. Could watch them again, easily, even though I'm not in the market for a Birkin. Your opinions sound so genuine. Such class, honesty and so refreshingly witty. You are a joy to watch. Let us know when you're coming back to NYC. Would love to play with your Birkin!
Hi Robyn, loved it! You're the right amount of real, gorgeous and sassy :D I saw you had uploaded part 1 this morning and was looking forward to it all day, so happy to find a part 2 as well :) Too long, never... Thanks for answering my question on the mai tai it was so helpful. Btw the craftsman stamp (on the strap) has been moved in 2016 bags to the inside top left corner. I had to say, a huge thanks for previous guidance: I found your videos a great source of info when hunting for my first Birkin. I took the route you mentioned, the resale market is great for THE birkin, got my 35 black PHW dream. I didn't want to take the chance of spending endlessly without getting the black i always wanted.
Loved these two videos!! I love you Birkins but the best part of your channel is you! You are so lovely and hilarious! I love your sass! Also, hi from Canada
Amazing Birkin discussion. I had a vague interest in the Birkin simply because I cannot afford one at the moment.Having watched your videos I am now convinced that I shall probably have one and that "my Birkin will come to me" as you rightly put it! Thanks for planting the seed. I love the fact that above all you say it's still just a leather bag and to use it! My other favourite quote of yours was that you should wear the bag rather than the bag wearing you...Bravo!
Thanks a mil Robyn for doing these Q&As on your Birkins. I am just catching up on my YT viewing. Now that I finally got on this "slippery slope" of Birkin-buying, it helps to learn from someone who has the experience of living with them under one roof (and going on the tube, etc)! On top of it, you are just so fun to watch. You are truly talented!!! Love your videos and opinions... On everything!!! Keep them coming! Would love to see your Garden Party and have a review. I bought one last summer in Rouge Pivione! Such a lovely color!
I am glad I found you in the group, love your personality. I usually don't stick to RUclipsrs and just look for what I need and watch their videos sporadically and never until the end! But... with you I have!! Great video!
Robyn, you're incredible! I watched your videos before I finally bought my Birkin. You played a part in my decision making. You also inspired me to make my own videos as well! Thank you for being awesome! :)
+Robyn A Hi robyn would it be possible to tell me the circumference or diameter of your braclets from halcyon days? they are only in one size and It doesn't say how big they are ^__^ Love your video btw!! They give me life!! wish you could upload more though :/ But that's life I guess...
Well, the Birkin doesn't come in 32, so maybe that helps you with your decision! Hermes does do a bag very similar to the Birkin, called a Haut a Courroies that is a bit taller, but also has much shorter handles, so some find it uncomfy over the forearm. But they can be found for a (relative) bargain, so maybe that's an option?
You are great, no way could I ever afford to spend that kind of money on a handbag. I don't know that I ever would if I did have the money. You however are one of the most down to earth people with a high end handbag I have ever seen and I think that that is a very special skill. Your videos are hilarious and I will keep watching :)
Hi Robyn thank you so much for this fantastic pt 2 of your Birkin Q&A, it's been a lovely hour or so with you. I love your personality and your way with words. I hope you manage to for fill your dreams of acquiring a black, and a blue denim Birkin soon. Hugz and love to a lovely lady 🌼🌺🌸🌺🌼🌺🌸🌺🌼xxxxxxx
***** Hermès should sponsor you, give you free birkins (1 being a 25cm in red with the target "target" logo on it), and a crown with a custom "R" cadena!!!
Hermes has a ridiculous customer service if one has to purchase a lot of items to establish a relationship with an SA and the brand. My own experience is more like being at the right place at the right time. The few things I have previously bought from Hermes I don't even think were registered when I bought my Birkin. I just happened to ask if they had such and such bag, they did, and I bought it.
Q&a part one loved the info but I'm on the fence with a birkin.... Q&A part two I need one!!!! Xx handbag hound love it xx have s great weekend Robyn xx💟
My Prada saffiano lux tore in black has had some bad luck I dropped a whole cup of coffee in it once and washed it out as well as a whole bottle of oasis juice and washed it out and it is so wearing because the water didn't even damage it. It's not my most favourite but definitely the most durable and loyal bag I have. I have the large one and I can literally wear it everyday as well as use it as a weekend bag easily. Thought I'd share my crazy bag story.
Great candid and honest Q&A. As an Hermès lover, what do you think of their brand for the Chinese market (Shang Xia)? Would you ever buy the stunning Lan Yue bag?
Robyn..I know this is off topic, but need your advice on purchasing a Goyard St Louis tote in pm size..Saw your video, but just need either encouragement or a stop sign !! I value your opinion..Tired of my Longchamps and Louis Vuittons and thought this would be a good alternative. Thoughts ???
+Lynn G Green light! They are great, I was just trying to caution people that they are a little more fragile compared to the Neverfull. But I am stalking another, to give you an idea. :)
Hi Robyn! New subscriber to your channel. Love your videos. An unusual question for you: I am a man in my mid-30s and I have wanted to carry a Birkin for some time now...but haven't...for the very reasons you mentioned. I am not rakish or tall (I am plump and stout--lol) and suspect that the bag would wear me... I suspect that the only way I could pull off the bag (I love the iconic silhouette and heft of the bags) is if I carried a SEVERELY distressed and "loved" version like the gentleman you mentioned you see around London. A man carrying a (traditionally) women's handbag in pristine/overly cared for condition...can be a tough look to carry for us mortals and non-editorial model types... SOOOO...where can I find a BEAT UP (BEYOND spa salvage) argile Birkin 40cm in Togo with in-color stitching and palladium...lol. I just could never bring myself to pay the markup on the reseller market for a good condition bag and then distress it myself...but realize that most sellers aren't in the business of selling a busted-looking bag...
+thechaoster Hi! Well, I'm hardly tall and willowy, so welcome to the club! LOL!! You could possibly approach some of the resellers and tell them what you are looking for, because beat to hell bags are definitely out there. But I think you will still be paying a fair amount for one, certainly a few thousand.
+Robyn A Busted Birkin Update: So...I was in Vegas for the weekend and passed no fewer than THREE Hermes boutiques and decided that was a sign. LOL. I decided to hell with it. I'm going to buy a pre-loved but unbusted bag...and see if I can pull it off. If it doesn't work, then it will make a fabulous gift for any number of female friends who could definitely rock it well. And in the meantime...have resolved to get as rakish as I can for my frame...lol...this is a first for me...weight loss for a bag...
YES!!!! Do it! Have you given much thought to leathers? Because Barenia is hot on a guy! Come find me on FB if you want, it's easier to chat! Robyn White Andrew :)
love your videos and your personality! did you find any color transfer problems with your orange birkin? I had color transfer problem with a red Lindy clemence leather. but thankfully Hermes took care of it very well, but now I am paranoid about future color transfers especially with my lighter Hermes prices (i.e. rose Jaipur).
Love you vdo and honest content. I am not sure about the birkin case. However I was offered for a Kelly from my lovely SA last year, but I declined the offer as it was not the colour that I was looking for. Few months later, I was offered another Kelly in the colour that I adored... It is expensive bag, so I think we should not just take whatever that we were offered (and we did not like it)
Love your video , very helpful. I am offered a black in 30 and an etoupe in 35 . Which one would you recommend ? I have an orange 35 . Will appreciate your advice .
awesome + refreshing to see your H vids which all show your love/appreciation of H....been trying to watch part 1+2 for a few weeks, have b/g twins who never stop! hope your daughter is feeling better too! are you sure on bleu jean, is it the white stitch? H does blues like no other! BJ was my first H bag so fellow lover but lagon (not quite blue-blue}) is TDF, just saying'.....xx
i made it through both videos :) but i do have a question in regards to the "spa" is that a free service or is there a deposit? btw if your ever in San Antonio Texas i would love to meet you!!!
Great Q&A's! Love your laugh. I have a question. You can answer it if you want. You said you don't talk political, but i was wondering do you still vote absentee? Go Hillary!! :D
Robyn A love when you can do a video on your GP, I would like to know how you feel about the straps etc. Also, any opinions on the Evie PM (how we call it in US) but really the moyen. Thinking to get one. Last could you pm me your IG? Ty so much❤️
+Robyn A lol moyen is the size of French sorry, here in US is equivalent to our PM size on the Evie 😘Ty. I will look for your past videos. I thought you said in this past video something about reviewing GP after spa😰? But I can be wrong😁🙈. Ty so much for answering!!
Loved both parts of this Q&A! Frankly, I could watch you reading your grocery list because you are so fabulous!! Love your no-nonsense personality!!
+Marissa Armandt Oh, that's so nice of you to say! Thank you!
Watched both videos back to back. Could watch them again, easily, even though I'm not in the market for a Birkin. Your opinions sound so genuine. Such class, honesty and so refreshingly witty. You are a joy to watch. Let us know when you're coming back to NYC. Would love to play with your Birkin!
+Judith Stackhouse Oh, thank you! Yes, if I'm ever in NY, I'll put out the word. :)
I personally have been blessed to see TWO Birkins in my short lifetime. Yes, they were both very sacred moments.
+Justin Akioka I know the feeling. :)
I love your channel, your honesty and passion comes through with a touch of humour. Keep up with what you're doing and thank you for sharing. ❤️
+Denise Plourde Oh, thank you so much for your comment! That was lovely. :)

All I can say is...rock on with your bad self! I so appreciate your candor. It's refreshing.
+Yve Yve Thank you!
Loved these two videos!! I love you Birkins but the best part of your channel is you! You are so lovely and hilarious! I love your sass! Also, hi from Canada
+Jade J Oh, how lovely! Thank you so much! :D
I love that you name your bags! Brilliant idea and gives more life and personality to the bag!
Girl! I think we need an updated What's In My Birkin--pretty sure you promised in this video!! 😉

LOL, that George Condo bag. As a handbag lover & an art fiend just thinking about that bag makes me want to cry! Great vid!

+okapi323 Is that the bag that sort of looks like a basket? I can appreciate the aesthetic, but it's not my style at all. :D
Great video Robyn!!! Looking forward to seeing your review for M Prez!! 😍😄😘
+Bags _4_Life Ha! Fingers are crossed!
Hi Robyn. Do you plan on purchasing any other Hermes bags other than a Birkin or kelly? Can you show us your other bags like your garden party?
+npm2000 I would love a larger Garden Party and will keep my eye out for once since the combo I like isn't available often. :)
love your channel!!!! hope one day i can get my hands on one!! grat personality!
Adore you!💋

I never felt the need for a Birkin.... but now.... I want a black with palladium 30 or 35. Nooooooo!!!!!😫

Love you vdo and honest content.

I heard that if you decline a birkin offer you're locked out for 2 years.
+Taylor Perrins Nah. I know that's not the case here London, at least. But I doubt it.
+Robyn A oh it must just be in NYC
I name my shoes, haha :d how do you decide what to call your bags?
