Victoria Beckham - Birkin Bag Lady

Filed under: Handbags

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. 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).

Victoria Beckhams Birkin Bags

    Victoria Beckham shops with her son and, of course, a gorgeous blue Birkin, large enough to hold plenty of toys and snacks. Hey, if she's going to drop that kind of cash on a handbag, it should at least be useful, right?

    Victoria Beckham arrives at Heathrow Airport wearing a polka dot Mac coat and basic black bag. You know, if an Hermes handbag can be considered basic.

    England football players' wives and girlfriends depart to Cologne for England's match against Sweden on June 20, 2006. Is she wearing shorts? A skirt? Who cares? She's got it covered with her fabulous bag.

    Victoria Beckham shops at Fred Segal in Santa Monice and then heads to the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, where she meets Katie Holmes and daughter Suri for dinner at the Bungalow. Just another day in the life of Posh, and, of course, another Birkin.

    Victoria Beckham uses her bag to brighten up an otherwise neutral ensemble at the airport.

    Victoria Beckham, rocking a black tipped french manicure, arrives at Los Angeles International Airport to fly back to England with Melanie Brown (Mel B) to work on a new Spice Girls single and a television commercial. No surprise here -- the bag is a perfect match for the dress, but we can probably guess which cost more.

    Posh sports a bright, 1960's-style dress while toting a hot pink ostrich Hermes Birkin purse. Victoria is trailed by several assistants who carry her luggage, block photographers, and escort her through security. Ever wonder what Mrs. Beckham carries in that expensive luggage of hers? Now we know: More expensive handbags.

Okay, even if there wasn't a two-year waiting list to get a Birkin, 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!

two-toned sleeve dress by Jonathan SaundersQuestion: If your lower-priced, fast-fashion collection looks more thought out and well-executed than the $3,000 coats and dresses the models donned in your A/W '09 runway presentation, shouldn't you feel obligated to immediately place your pricey items on sale once they hit the department store racks?

Racy Relish Ads Cause Controversy in Rio - Fashion Police Brutality

Filed under: Style in the News

The Relish ad featuring Rio de Janeiro cops molesting womenThe latest fashion ads causing an uproar don't come from the likes of Tom Ford. Rather, these perverted dandies come from a small Italian fashion label named Relish, and they're so offensive that even the mayor of Rio de Janeiro is asking that the billboards be taken down. Of course, part of the reason Mayor Eduardo Paes is upset could be the fact that the ads feature men dressed as Rio cops. The other part is, of course, the fact that the cops are molesting women.

The Smurfs Get Their Own Makeup Line

Filed under: Style in the News

too faced smurf makeup collectionAs far back as we can remember, we have always been fans of the Smurfs. When we were making our way through elementary school, no homework was ever completed until we could watch at least thirty minutes of the Smurfs on television. And as adults, we've been known to sport vintage tees with the little blue creatures emblazoned on the front of them as well.

Katie Holmes designing denim?

Filed under: Jeans, Celebrities with Style


Most of us in the world of fashion were slightly taken aback when Katie Holmes started sporting what looked like her husband's jeans, pegged and rolled to the ankle. We were sure it was a fluke, but she kept showing up in them, and before long, we stopped being surprised. Heck, we even stopped making faces about it.

President Bush's niece changes name for her new fashion line

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Lauren Conrad's clothing line dying a slow death at racks

Filed under: Style in the News


(Click the photo to see Lauren's failing line -- would you buy it?)

After presenting at LA Fashion Week with much fanfare and receiving an award from US Weekly for creating the most fashionable celebrity clothing line this year, The Hills' Lauren Conrad has found herself in a veritable quandary: no one wants to buy her pieces anymore.

Agh...the outrage!

It turns out that her little appearance at Bloomingdale's a couple of weeks, you know, the one that made the department store's vice chairman proclaim that LC's collection was "the best-selling celebrity line [they had]," well, didn't do much to help her brand's slagging sales.

Apparently, the racks with Lauren's designs are totally overstuffed because no one wants to buy anything. At all. Not even when stores like Kitson offer a buy-one-get-one free deal are people willing jump on those jersey dresses. But really, this is suppose to be a surprise to whom?
