If you know bags, you know the Hermes Birkin is the Rolls Royce of all handbags. Prices start at about 7K and go up to well over 200K. Also there is a wait list for all persons wishing to purchase a Birkin, even for celebrities. There is a way to Birkin instant gratification, however, and that is Portero. It's a website I have fallen in love with, where they buy and sell second hand luxury bags, including Birkins. The bags vary in wear from 'like new' to 'gently used', and prices are affected accordingly. Best of all, no wait.
They carry the best of the best, Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Fendi. These 2nd hand luxury bags are at Portero.com

Tennis was the theme Jean Paul Gaultier used to inspire his collection for Hermes Spring/Summer fashion. The collection featured the classic Birkin in conservative shades in leather, snakeskin and croc, as well as mini Birkins that act as a clutch. He debuted a few formal evening bags, but nothing that strayed from their tried and true designs. A Hermes handbag, in particular, the Birkin, is the creme de la creme in the world of designer handbags.

Could fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier be out at Hermès?
Fashion Week Daily reports that the designer may be resigning from the company after the Paris show in October. Gaultier produces his own collections of ready-to-wear and haute couture and has been the creative director at Hermès for six years. Gaultier has continued to bring excitement and status to the luxury brand whether he's bringing us a luxury version of the cowboy look, aviator chic or traditional Hollywood glamour. If he's out at Hermès those are some big shoes to fill. - Luxist

The Hermes Spring 2009 Handbag collection was displayed in Paris yesterday. The runway shows theme was the wild west, and it was displayed in the clothes, handbags and shoes. We saw slim crocodile envelope clutches, handheld canvas-and-leather suitcases, and (whoa, ladies!) even a fringed Birkin.
I have to admit, I thought (and hoped) we were done with the fringe, but Hermes designer Jean Paul Gaultier made it bearable. While he got a little crazy with the fringed Birkin, he stayed true to the classic labels image with the crocodile and snakeskin Birkins. Overall, the collection was classy and beautiful, and will be highly anticipated.
