New LA resident Victoria with her custom-made birkin bag in Pink ostrich matching her dress, Lindsay Lohan's blue birkin that was reportedly stolen at Heathrow airport and the paparazzi-allergic Kate Moss hurrying with her green birkin. All are fashionable in their own ways, but hey, it’s not about whose fashionable or not. But who’s sensible enough to think it over.
According to Forbes’s magazine, Hermes custom-made Birkin Bags cost to about $20,000-$40,000. In fact it's the most expensive bag in the list. Are they sure? And an average of 10 Hollywood celebs own at least one of these bags. So that’s about $370,000 or P15, 540,000. Wow, that’s smashing!
Do you know that 1 classroom building here in the Philippines cost P325,000 – P375,000, and can accommodate 60 students (COA), if you do the math, 10 Birkin bags simply equals to 80 classrooms and 4,800 students. Come to think of it.
And not to mention several of those helpless animals they need to slaughter to come up with these bags. But that’s another story. Laughs!
