There are two kinds of purse lovers in the world, those who own an Hermes Birkin, and those who want to. These bags have become status symbols, and the first bag received/acquired is akin to a rite of passage for some, a signal that one has finally arrived.
And in the class system of Birkins, standing at the top is the exotic beauty made from crocodile skin.

30CM Pink, glazed, palladium hardware
These are probably the "IT" of the most It-bags. People put their names on lists and wait 2 to 3 years to own such a bag. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on clothing, leather accessories, silk scarves and build personal relationships with sales advisers and store managers just for the opportunity to spend tens of thousands more to have a handmade crocodile Hermes handbag. These bags are notorious for being sold within minutes once they arrive at a store, leaving a long line of wait-listed customers wanting their own so much more.
