I guess miss Birkin got Birkins bags for life !!

[@user-dl9qu9sp1r]

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the nkuwan leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

The weird thing is the birkin isn't even an original design. It's based on their previously existing bag called an HAC. They only made 2 alterations.

Who edited this video???

[@HIMYNAMEISRYRY]

This was very low effort on the part of Hypebeast... How can you talk about the birkin without mentioning the Haut a courroies

[@Khufuuuuu]

why is the voiceover quality so bad

[@PocketUau]

Idiots said the 25 is the rarest and then proceeded to cancel that out saying the 45 is the least produced.

[@austriadiamolo]

take off the birkin bag

[@kl2991]

I have a feeling this episode is just lazy copywriting and editing. Not the usual BTH.

[@First1ToComment]

Another item for thieves to snatch up

[@daniellord-vera6987]

learn the basics on creating leather good research every step and quality of every step and how it can be elevated weather its the waxing of the edges everything tools used dyes then you'll be able to replicate the same or even better quality in leather goods.
