Hello Kitty “Birkin”

hellokitty_birkin.jpg

Hello from Taipei!! What’s an Asia trip without some good encounters with knockoffs? They have really perfected the birkin style here, this one is really well made with real leather for a reasonably low price of $13800 ($470 USD). It even has the same texture as the Hermes clemence. Not that I would consider a fake in any shape or form but if you must go there, I would think a cheeky Hello Kitty Swarovski crystal number is the way to go. I had an entire Hello Kitty day (although I’m starting to think everyday is a Hello Kitty day here), I had high tea at the Hello Kitty Sweets restaurant – the whole place was HK decor and the food was all in the shape of HK’s head.

  1. I love discovering how much we have in common, I’m an HK die hard since childhood and my love for Hello Kitty has never, ever faded with time! I had no idea there was a kitty birkin. It makes me feel conflicted, birkins should be pure…..yet….I….Can’t….Resist…..Hello Kitty…..and if it was Hello Kitty with a Butterfly on it too, I’d probably already be on a plane over!

  2. I think that as long as the bag is not being passed off as a Birkin, I just see it as something fun to have. For the leather and detail of the beading, it’s probably worth the price tag.

  3. Wow, Birkin + hello Kitty= total slob(imo). Just out of curiosity how much are fake Birkin? It seems pointless to spend that much on a fake Birkin/Hello Kitty for $470.

  4. I think the bag is adorable for a hello kitty bag. better to adorn a fake bag than ruin a real hermes a la Lady Gaga with her sharpie!

  5. I normally would never buy a fake..but love love the HK birkin..it’s obviously a fake and it’s fun and cute..i would get it for my daughter!

  6. The Hello Kitty restaurant sounds like so much fun! I totally agree with Devany. I can see Josie Stevens from Married to Rock with this bag.

  7. i would never buy a fake no matter how cute it is. it’s just how i am. but i have to say it’s cute! hahaha very nice for the die-hard hello kitty fans!

  8. How cute! I’m sure they have the same beading on a nice “non fake, non Hermes” leather bag…I’d buy it and send to my bcc who is hk crazy (still, at 44!)

  9. Very cute! I’m a BIG Hello Kitty fan @ the ripe young age of 49 and have a few things [necklace, watch, compact] incorporated into my accessories!!! I would definitely buy this as long as it wasn’t being passed off as a Birkin.
