Fashion Week Handbags: Hermes Spring 2013-Junyuan bags

In all the hustle and bustle of getting through the end of the fashion season, we’ve still got a few collections that we didn’t get a chance to write about but we think you should see. The first, of course, is Hermes Spring 2013 – Hermes is essential viewing to any handbag lover, even if it’s not your style or anywhere near your budget. Keeping up with the goings-on of the best of the best is always worth it, no matter what you’re interested in.

Unlike recent season, Spring 2013 featured a good bit of exactly what we want to see from Hermes: bags, bags, bags, and more specifically, Birkins. The Birkin of the season is a giant weekender version with a woven front panel showcasing modern, colorblocked prints. What I loved the most, though, were the gorgeous leather backpacks, one of which we’ll surely be seeing on Kanye West as soon as he can get his hands on one. I can’t blame him at all.

Celebrities and their Hermes Birkin Bags: A Retrospective-Junyuan bags

There are certain bags that celebrities, no matter who they are, just love to carry. We already showed you an amazing round up of celebrities and their Celine Luggage Totes, and today we are breaking down the celebs that love, covet, and carry Hermes Birkins. The Hermes Birkin is not only the ultimate timeless classic, but it’s also the bag that celebrities have to wait to get just like the rest of us. The Birkin is the equalizer; celebrities and regular folk alike yearn for this bag, but most of them (and us) can’t get it the minute they want it. Yep, that’s right: Hermes doesn’t “gift” bags to celebrities. It doesn’t have to.

Let’s be real: every handbag lover knows of the infamous Hermes Birkin, but for most people, spotting this bag in the wild can be rare. Somehow, though, some celebrities (and non-celebrities, but we don’t have pictures of them) have so many Birkins it is absurd (hey, I’m talking to you, Ecclestone sisters). Let’s all be honest: we’re a bit jealous. The Birkin will never go out of style, and since they’re hard to come by, what better way to take a look at this bag’s many versions than by taking a look at celebrities and the Birkins that they love?

Sit back, grab your latte and a snack and get ready to drool through our massive gallery!
