Birkin Bag: No More Wait Lists?

I will admit it. If I had the spare $10k lying around, I would want a Birkin bag.

I used to think I wasn't sophisticated enough to carry one... You usually see them dangling from anorexic arm of well-dressed and polished (and famished!) women. So the way I used to think, Birkin's were for women with the following attributes:

• Super skinny
• Super rich
• Super severely polished
• Super connected, in order to avoid the multi-year wait list

But I was wrong in my assumption that it was for sophist-ies... Because the reality is, it was a bag designed for a bohemian.

Love Jane Birkin. And I love the bag that was designed for her, with the intention of carrying all the crap around that she needed to take with her. (I can relate to that!)

And it looks like I am wrong in my assumption that their is an obscenely long wait list for the bag. According to the Huffington Post, the wait list no longer exists.

So now... I no longer have the following standing between me and a Birkin:

• The idea that I am not cultivating the right personal style in which to carry one
• The long wait list I would have to sit on in order to get one

The $10k, though? Yep. That is still between me and a Birkin.
