Hermes Birkin Handbags Without the Waitlist

The Hermes Birkin is the Holy Grail of handbags and the effort and funds it takes to own one proves it. The Birkin starts at a selling price of about 8K and can go up into the 200K range, with the average new Birkin around 20K. Those prices sound outrageous, but they are made with incredible craftmanship and tedious detail, as seen in this video. It’s not just the price that makes them exclusive, it’s also the long waiting list to purchase one. No matter who you are, Hollywood, politicians, etc…there’s a wait.

A fabulous on-line store, Portero.com, saves those of us seeking a Birkin from the wait. Portero buys and sells second hand designer handbags, including Hermes Birkins. They range in price from about 6K to 63K for a croc skin Birkin, and most are in pristine condition, with some in good or very good condition and priced accordingly. The bag pictured here is the Hermes 25cm Casse Blanc Lizard Birkin and it’s in pristine condition, selling for $19,000.

Portero.com also carries designer handbags from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and more.
