A financial website has just revealed that Victoria Beckham has spent £1.5m on Hermès Birkin bags. Of course its already known that shopping is her number one pastime, but procuring Birkin bags, especially to the degree that she hoards them, is a full time occupation. The waiting list (which only opens for a day or two twice a year), is up to four years long for your basic £4,000 leather Birkin bag. If it's precious skins (ostrich, lizard, crocodile) or rare colours you're after, forget it. Yet it seems that Posh has bagged one in every colour and configuration imaginable, including one encrusted with a three-carat diamond, which is worth £80,000 and one of only three ever produced. Named after Jane Birkin who, legend has it, sat next to Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight in 1984 and complained that she couldn't find a suitably chic weekend bag, the Birkin has taken on a life of its own being name checked in Sex And The City, Gossip Girl, Will & Grace and The Sopranos and becoming the subject of a best-selling novel Bringing Home The Birkin by Michael Tonello. Hermès are famously unimpressed by celebrity and don't tell even Hollywood's A-listers when their list is opening. If you really want your name on it, only sheer belligerence and commitment are worth a damn. The revelation of the full extent of Victoria's remarkable collection has sent shockwaves around the fashion world, not least because of the perceived vulgarity of it. Its like owning 100 original Mona Lisas.

She's using same kinda of bag, but different colors. That's boring jor  But I can't blame her, she worked hard for it. Shoes, bags, dresses, you name it, If I had that kinda money, I'd do the same thing. Well, I'd spend wisely sha |

The cheapest Birkin is supposedly $12000.00. I have to say though that Victoria Beckham has a problem. I sometimes think that she suffers from severe depression and maybe shopping gives her that initial thrill that some people (including me) get from buying things. 1,000,000 pounds on purses is not just a love of fashion. It is a disease. |

Is it just me or are the bags as plain as day? |
| Re: Victoria Beckham Spends £1.5m On Birkin Bags by Pepeye(f): 1:54pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
Bags are now regarded as wordless art of boasting It’s a newish phenomena whereby the size and price of one’s bag is aggressively used in a game of one upmanship Apparently where money flows status follows |

they seem to just be the same bag but in different colors.i clothing style she had it but in bags she should atleast have a variety of shapes and styles too.not the same thing in different colors and that's it.i like to have different colors of the same bag but also have other styles too. |

| Re: Victoria Beckham Spends £1.5m On Birkin Bags by OkraSoup1: 2:35am On Jun 23, 2009 |
I'm trying to figure out if the leather those bags are made from come from super cows as in the leather regenerates when the bag gets old. If you took a knife to that bag would it not tear. Absolute nonsense those purses are. Some of them are alright but the prices are outrageous. |
