    When I get my first Birkin 40 I'm going to get it preloved. To me this is a workhorse bag to use and enjoy and not care if it gets scratched or loses some of its form.

    Maybe you could have the insert made with a zip? Personally, I would not buy a bag, including a Birkin, unless it had the facility for a shoulder strap. I really like Birkins, but I don't have the energy to carry a bag around by hand! Thank you for the video!

    Thank you so much for your honest and clear reviews, very helpful. I have decided neither Birkin nor Kelly is for me. It’s really tiring to hand held a heavy bag all day using a Birkin. The style of Kelly is very basic, there are a lot of beautiful, well made, structure bags that are better than Kelly in all sizes. Both B and K are not practical to use. I saw people carrying their Kelly open, looks like things are falling out of their bags any minute. Not flattering. The only reason to buy is, in my opinion, to be seen owning one. I actually bought those under radar Hermes for the craftsmanship, leather and usability. They are excellent bags for a very good price. Also, I prefer day to night bag, especially when travelling. Hermes is limited only okay for smaller sizes but too small for day use. Plus security is a big problem for me. I really would not feel comfortable at all walking around in London or cities that are busy areas. I feel like I have to get taxi,, not able to use the tube which can be faster than stuck in traffic. It’s just so impractical to use. Also. I think Hermes owners must love the brand, they need to love their shoes, scarf as well. Unfortunately, I tried to find something I like, I never did. I say that because a lot of Hermes utubers saying they HAVE to buy lots of stuff to get offer a bag. I actually just want to focus on their other stuff but not finding much of anything special I like. Watching their fashion shows saying a lot of Hermes styles. It gets to a point people are obsessed with the BKC, they forgot it is actually a brand with a very understated styling . For me, there are plenty of understated brands that are very nice if I like that sort of style. I guess I am lucky Hermes is not for me. I rather spend less on similar understated bags. 😊

    I personally feel extremely nervous whenever I carry either my Kelly or my Birkin in Paris. Those bags do attract so much unwanted attention that they have almost become embarrassing for me to carry around town. I have the feeling that one can exclusively carry those bags when browsing in luxury boutiques or in 5 star hotels nowadays. 2 years ago, I almost got "slaughtered" by a bunch of gypsy kids when they saw my Kelly gold. That's why I'd rather go for Hermès non quota bags now: equally beautiful but so understated that people do barely notice them.
    Oh, if you really want to make those bags less noticeable in most of Parisian areas, I do have an even more efficient tip than the one provided in the video: I just hide them in those huge cheap grocery bags they offer at Chinatown!!! Since I started doing that, I have become more at peace and safe, I have therefore been able to enjoy those bags more often as no one can notice them anymore (« selfish pleasure » aka Hermès quintessential philosophical concept) and on top of that, it does create a very nice (edgy avant-garde?) contrast with the rest of my outfit!!!

      I thought togo leather in black looks a little pale/dull and was thinking to go for clemance instead. But your Birkin looks lovely and intensely coloured. So maybe it is because of the GOLD hardware (because black togo with palladium hardware definitely looked a bit dull in my eyes)
      Anyway, thank you for your reply 💜

    Sorry if I am offending you or any subscribers; but I could not buy/carry a Birkin because some of the most vulgar women on television do, and I mean 'Real Housewives'. I feel I would be guilty through association. Give me a Constance anyday!

    Personally I’ve owned Hermes items and a Kelly wallet. I’m not impressed with the quality. At the price point you should be amazed by the quality. I feel like other bags out there that are a fraction of the price are way better quality wise. I do understand people like to feel a certain way and treat themselves but it’s almost like a “status statement” so it’s not for me because I could care less what others think about what I’m carrying or using as a bag.

    Thank you for your great review. I definitely keep that in mind. I am planning (or dreaming) of getting a BK 35 and mentally prepared that it will be a heavy bag. What do you think about people who draw on their Bk? I have a close friend who used one artist to paint (ugly) pictures on her beautiful bag. I guess this could be one of the things not to do to your BK. I think this would devalue the bag.😂
