hate the birkin, love the other



[1] the birkin is a whopping 10000 usd; the other birkin, a mere 25 usd.

[2] the birkin is like a high-maintenance girl that requires a lot of moolah to keep her looks. the other birkin is more like your simple wash and wear kinda gal.

[3] the birkin is an investment so pricey you could end up broke in the next 5 years or so. the other birkin is hardly an investment. but it won't mess up your bank account either.

[4] with the birkin comes a certain image and that means more cash flowing out of your wallet. the other birkin is down-to-earth so no pretensions and, therefore, no extra expenditures necessary.

[5] most times there is a long wait for the birkin, given its importance and limited supply. on the other hand, the other birkin is extremely accessible. in fact, it could be your very own diy project.

[6] finally, anything that comes with a high and mighty price tag is no laughing matter. so the birkin is, most definitely, not among the funniest things on earth. meanwhile, the humble other birkin is made with a healthy dose of humor. it could bring a smile even to a frustrated birkin lover's face.

images grabbed from here and here.
