Hermes Birkin Bag vs Gaultier
Apparently the recession is over, at least for a chosen few who are clamoring for the latest Hermes Birkin bag designed by L’enfant terrible Jean Paul Gaultier.
The French designer, known for unconventional looks (including Madonna’s cone bra back-in-the-day), has managed to update one of the most recognizable accessories around, without looking ridiculously inaccessible…the 11k price tag easily handles that task! “My idea was to work around the trompe l’oeil concept with the Birkin,” Hermes designer, Jean Paul Gaultier, recently explained. “The flap, straps, and clochette seem to have been chiseled in the raw material, the result of unbelievable craftsmanship.”
