I WANT THAT BAG: The Proposal

Oh my....I want that bag! I started admiring this status symbol kind of bag just recently, when I saw the hot orange version in the movie "The Proposal" stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Wonderful, funny, romantic movie.... and that awesome bag.

The Birkin bag by Hermes is named after the actress and singer Jane Birkin. This super expensive bag is not always available to the public but only to those who can afford it. That is why this bag symbolizes wealth due to its elusiveness to us. The prices range from $5,000 to $150,000??? Costs escalate according to the type of materials. These bags are distributed to Hermes boutiques on unpredictable schedules and in limited quantities, creating scarcity, intended or unintended exclusivity.
yes...that's mine! I bought it in Rome.
I was going to Europe sometime in 2010 when my husband told me about the movie "The Proposal"; by the way we both like and love to watch Sandra Bullock's movies; "Try to get a copy to watch on the plane, you'll forget the length of your trip" he said. I did and luckily  it was also one of the movie choices on board of KLM at that time. I watched the movie  a few times during that trip and it sure made me feel good, and my trip felt more relax and shorter than usual.
