The Birkin Bag costs about as much as a small car but that does not stop women in the konw(like Samantha)from craving one on their arm. Designed by Hermes in honor of acress Jane Birkin, who complained in the xisties that she could not find a bag large enough to hold everything she wanted, the current waiting list for the bag is actually years long, although celeberities do get special prefernce.
