Handbags might just be one of mankind’s most useful inventions.

Handbags have evolved from being necessary tools of survival to elements of high fashion.

With the emergence of designer handbags came the Supreme Queen of Bags: the Birkin by Hermes.

Who doesn’t tremble at the sight of the coveted Birkin?

There’s a famous waiting list and everything.

If you eventually do manage to snag one, it could set you back at least $9,000.

The mostexpensive Birkin handbagever sold at Sotheby’s went for almost half a million dollars!

They’re owned by our favorite ’90s American sweethearts, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

In addition to its lower price, the Margaux is also more readily available than the Birkin.

According to her, the pebbled leather Margaux tends to be more durable than the smooth leather version.

She also noted that the Margaux 7.5 is ideal for evening looks.

Another thing we can’t help but admire is how there aren’t any over-the-top brand markers on it.

What makes Birkin bags so special boils down to their rarity.
