What I will say however, is that after the first chapter I was hooked. And then the story becomes v.interesting. And in the beginning he hits a brick wall in the form of sales assistants….until he discovers the formula. Getting his hands on one however, proves to be anything but easy. And after a number of encounters Tonello discovers that the Birkin is where the money is at. After selling his precious Hermes scarf on eBay, he discovers the sheer number of fanatics that will pay a small fortune to get their hands on anything "Hermes", especially the Birkin.

Well, Tonello dispels all the myths that surround this "un-obtainable" bag.īringing Home the Birkin is a memoir of Tonello’s travels during his time as a reseller of the Birkin. We’ve heard all the stories about how hard it is to actually get a Birkin bag, you know – there is a two year waiting list, and even worse a waiting list for the waiting list (yeah right!).
