Jane Birkin's Birkin Bag Sold for GBP100,100

• All to Japan
  

That's right! Almost 2 weeks ago, when I first saw it the bid started off at around GBP1,000, then more higher bids were placed until around GBP10,000 the day before the bid closed. And then on the closing day, it rose so rapidly up till GBP25,000, and when I refreshed it again, it was GBP100,100 !!! That's almost US$170,000!!! This Birkin bag is definitely THE Birkin as it was the first Birkin and owned by Jane Birkin since 1984.

For those who think GBP100,100 is stupidly high for a bag, all the money will go to the Red Cross foundation to help the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that happened in Japan. So, it ain't stupid.

And speaking of Birkins...

Ashley Tisdale finally got her first (I think) Birkin 35! In Mykonos Blue. And I was quite surprised, even though she's a celebrity but she waited 2 years for it!

Her tweet :

After two years of waiting the New York Hermes store came through!! Aaahhh!!!!! http://t.co/yKu5k34

Ah, good for her then.

Simple yet chic. All she needs is a blazer, a plain t-shirt of any colour, and a pair of heels and a Birkin that matches her t-shirt. She'll look fabulous!
