  • Can't imagine anyone not having fun reading this book or not reading most of it in one sitting.  The Birkin bag...for anyone with some clue about fashion, is the known Holy Grail of many fashionistas.  Notoriously hard to obtain but even harder to afford.  I mean $20k+ for a croc Birkin. Come on. Tonello demystifies the whole Birkin quest but it's not really a strategy that your average woman can use to snag her own Birkin, unfortunately. You still need a bit of dosh to start off with which is what he has.  Wonder if his strategy still works?  He was found out by Hermes by the end of the book, though.  It's a crazy journey that he has had as an eBay reseller.  A welcomed bit of frivolity in the days of the credit crunch.
