THE BIRKIN

Brief history of the very pompous arm candy:
Named after Jane Birkin in 1984, the Birkin bag is a hand built purse from Hermes with a waiting list of up to 3 years and takes up to 48 hours to make from exotic skins including their controversial crocodile skin (yeah, they were looking into rearing their own crocodiles in a croc farm in Australia just for the bags) hence its exclusivity. The smallest size starts from a five figure price tags. And to think Victoria Beckham is rumoured to have about a hundred of these... Please note it is not to be mistaken with the Hermes Kelly bag (placed in the bottom right corner of this collage for comparison) even though I think the difference is too clear. I give you the Birkin bag:

I love all the little Birkin bags at the top of the collage. Paired with classic YSL heels, the Birkin bag is a must have in the wardrobe of any power dresser (coming soon to Andiva's closet). If you owned a Birkin bag, what you put in it?

Tribal Print Beach Bag

Sun's out and it's warm and nice. Okay, that's a lie! It is hot, extremely so. Scorching and sticky! So there's nothing wrong with going to cool off by the seaside and be a kid again. And why not do it in style with this gorgeous multicoloured print beach bag by Nkwo:

And now...

... the one every girl wants a piece of; the one every girl regards a wardrobe staple; the bag of many colours! I want one!!! Okay I would probably want everything on my blog so I better get used to not wanting since I won't be getting them anytime soon. I digress. So, Balenciaga blessed every stylish and street chic with a most delightful treat: the City bag. As the name implies, such is the style of its carrier who I typically imagine as a fashionable native New Yorker (as seen on tv). I have never been to New York and I have this amazing impression of the city and its people and the Balenciaga City bag personifies all that I drawn out in my little brain: a tough cookie, practical, durable. I present to you the giant city bag in Madarin:
