Hi Purseholic

How do I buy a Shooting Star Birkin? I heard it is rare and difficult to get even if you have the money?

Hi Linda

Err… You are not supposed to be able to buy a Shooting Star Birkin or Shooting Star Hermes anything for that matter. A Shooting Star stamp is a signature deliberately put on an Hermes product created by an Hermes craftsman for his/her own consumption or gift. Each craftsman is allowed only one bag per year and the bag is not allowed for sale and not eligible for the Spa tratment. There might be some Shooting Star Birkins in the market around. In fact, you should avoid one even if you come across it.
