What is Birkin's bag?
Birkin Bag is a hand -made handbag made in France by Hermes, which was originally founded by the Hermes family in 1837. It carries a logo, but its unique design and limited production makes it one of the most sought -after bags in the world. Birkin Bag, named in honor of the first owner of Birkin, European actress and singer Jane Birkin, made his debut in 1984. Birkin is not massively produced, and therefore it is a much more exclusive bag than many other luxury wallets and accessories. While Hermes is known for highly affordable fashion accessories, the Birkin bag generally far exceeds all other hits in Hermes. Bags start for just over $ 7,000 in the US (USD) and because each is customizable, many of them are up to $ 150,000.
A few years after the debut of the bag, Birkin was only achievable waiting lists, which was sometimes two years long. Hand sewing in France with the only qualified craftsman, each bag consists of the best animal skins that must be becooler. The animal skins used include ostrich, lizard and crocodile. Finding exotic leather for Birkin bag can take up to two years and processing may take another two weeks, which means that only a few Birkin bags are completed weekly.
Although it is expensive, every birkin is designed to endure throughout his life. While the knock-off Birkin bag may look attractive, it is attention to the detail that made these particular Hermes handbags so popular. Each fiber used for the construction of the bag is first coated with bee wax before it is used to hide the skin together. Once built, each Birkin bag is equipped with a gold hardware 14-karat, it is manually upset and painted and the bags are individually polished. Each wallet works for several hours a day to create up to 25 hours.
Hermes specially trains, which previously experienced leather manufacturers, in the production of Birkin bags on Hermes School for a year before ever allowed a single craftsman to work on a bag.Of the approximately 800 highly trained craftsmen, only a few selected are sufficiently qualified to work with specific shit. One such skin used Hermes, with which they can work with limited craftsmen, is crocodile skin that easily and permanently carries craftsmen, unless properly treated.
