Crush on the Birkin

I have a crush on this bag.
Estoy enamorada de este Bolso.

Grey in summer.
Gris en verano.

Black in winter.
Negro en invierno.

It doesnt matter the color.
Da igual el color.

It always looks classy.
Siempre luce elegante.
   BAG CRUSH: HERMES BIRKIN Jane Birkin, on how the Hermés Birkin bag came to be: “I was on an airplane when a plastic bag holding all my things broke and everything fell out — my date book, papers, everything. Just as I was saying how I wish Hermès would make a bag that could fit all my things, the man sitting next to me happened to work for Hermès — it was Jean-Louis Dumas, the head designer! They already had the Kelly bag, named after Grace Kelly, so he began work on the Birkin bag. I went down to the atelier, and he had made it in cardboard. And we talked about it, and I said they should make some changes, like making pockets bigger. And that’s how it was made.”

Jane Birkin contando la historia de la creación del bolso Hermés Birkin.
“Estaba en un avión cuando, una bolsa de plástico que contenía todas mis cosas se rompió y desparramó todas mis cosas por el suelo- libros, papeles... todo. Mientras andaba yo diciendo cómo me gustaría que Hermés hiciera un bolso donde meter todas mis cosas, un hombre que se sentaba a mi lado resultó ser Jean Luis Dumas, que por entonces trabajaba en la casa Hermès. Ya existía el bolso Kelly, llamado así por Grace Kelly así que empezó a trabajar en el bolso Birkin. Fui al taller y había hecho el molde. Hablamos un poco y sugería algunos cambios como hacer los bolsillos más grandes. Y así nació el Birkin.
