Requested Dress for Less: The Birkin



  Monday, August 30, 2010 at 8:18 AM   |    Post a Comment     Tagged:,,, 
Here's a Dress for Less request from StylisHedForeVer, she asked, "Can you pls help me find the Birkin bag for much less than it is? I've been on the hunt for the bag for way too long and i hope you can help out." Another challenging one, but here we go, I picked out a couple options; of course none are as awesome as the Birkin.
Birkin Bag - Too gastly to say
Paul's Boutique $92 (just take off the long strap and key-chain thing)
ASOS $60
Oasis $59
Forever 21 $24.80

UPDATE: I was also featured on Style [According to Me], so go check out the post and her wonderful blog!  Thanks again Mary for featuring me! :D

    I bought a look a like birkin in Firenze, for 150 euro, and I totally love it!
    It's real leather, and almost as pretty as a real one..
    I think if you'll search at some websites you could find a great look a like ;D
    good luck!
    Love, Judith

    I quite like that Paul's boutique bag on its own! Meh, I can't understand paying $150 for a knock-off though. Weird. Congrats on the feature!

    UGHHH. I'm drooling over that ASOS bag! Do you think it's large enough to use for a book bag? I've been searching for a pretty one all over the place!

    None are as awesome as the Birkin but the Asos comes very close. This is a great looking bag.
