The Elusive Birkin? Not So Much. April 17, 2008
Today’s Boston Globe has a very amusing story about the Birkin, a handbag whose legendary exclusiveness is firmly quashed in the story.
And if you like Posh’s Roland Mouret dress Burda WOF did a pretty good knock-off.
Erica’s version is really hot!
Miss J is not one for the suitcase-sized bags… LOVE the dress, tho.
I think Stacy and Clinton of WNTW would look at her and say, “too much pink”.
I’m drooling! Love the bag, love the dress, just not together.
Such a fashionista, but for moi, no Pepto Bismol, thank you!
What a wonderful addition a Birkin would make to my handbag collection, sigh.
Oh. Phillys, that good data are compiled ….. congratulate you, your post is very instructive. Thanks. A big hug for you. Paco
SO can someone lead me to a birkin-like pattern out there? I’d like to make a funky version (to fit my style, of course) from some kind of cool canvas. Patterns?
Susan,
Vogue pattern 7982 which is OOP now looks like a Birkin bag

This was an interesting article. Thank you for posting the link. Also, I love Erica’s dress and I think i missed the review last year. I’m going to have to dig out that Burda from my stash.
I used to like the Birkin bag, but now…not so much. I even grabbed that Vogue pattern when it was available. Hmmm…maybe I should make one.
I remember this dress by Erica, a great interpretation of this dress! Thanks for posting a link to the article too!

I really enjoyed the article on the bags.
But I have to wonder if Michael and Nina wouldn’t comment on the fit of the RM dress - and not that it fits her perfectly. Shall we say No Ease?
