hermès birkin bags are for bimbos.

kylie jenner has one. so does every it girl, rich girl, WANNABE rich girl and influencer. the hermès birkin is the most famous handbag in the world, and the funny thing is it’s not really a handbag at all. it’s a membership card. because you can’t just walk into hermès and buy one. you have to spend thousands on scarves and plates first, befriend your sales associate, wait a year or two, and pray they decide you’re worthy. all so you can step out with that orange box and tell the world: I’ve made it, I’m rich, I’m THAT girl. but if it’s that hard to get one, how is every 17 year old on tiktok suddenly unboxing three of them? and if you can’t tell the real ones from the fakes anymore, what exactly is everyone paying for? is the birkin still the ultimate status symbol, or has it become the ultimate bimbo bag? come say hiiiiii to me on instagram! @_stephanielange_
