Shoulder Birkin II
Spice Posh and her 100 Hermes bags
Victoria Beckham doesn’t exactly shy away from excess. The former Spice Girl didn’t earn the nickname “Posh” for nothing! It took serious dedication to shopping for couture clothes, shoes and, most importantly, bags. Hermès Birkin bags, to be exact.
The Big Money reports that Posh owns around 100 of the exclusive and pricey purses, a collection worth possibly $2 million. Hermes Bag prices range from approximately $6,000 to over $100,000, depending on the materials used. Exotic animal skins, like saltwater crocodile, up the price significantly, as do embellishments on the hardware (a crocodile Birkin with roughly 10 carats of diamonds sold at auction for $120,000).
Okay, even if there wasn’t a two-year waiting list to get a Birkin bag, most of us can’t afford the price tag. And it’s not like the value goes down over time (it’s called an investment piece for a reason, people). However, we can dream, and we can gawk. And so can you — check out the gallery of Posh and her many, many Birkins above!
