"The Hermès Birkin is quite a legendary bag which has been a classic since it was introduced in 1984 and is named after British actress Jane Birkin who designed it as a more practical version of their Haut a Courrois bag. The Birkin bag is available in an almost infinite number of combinations with several hundred colors with many types of leather and skins available. One of the most prestigious of all Birkin’s is the Diamond Crocodile Birkin which is made of the rare saltwater crocodile whose scales are quite small. The palladium hardware on the bag is encrusted with a total of fourteen carats of pavé diamonds. The Hermès Diamond Crocodile Birkin bag is available exclusively by order from Hermès stores worldwide."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: No matter how much Y.O.U. may adore this Holy Grail of handbags, I implore Y.O.U. to do away with any thoughts of actually purchasing 1 of these special order Hermès Diamond Crocodile Birkin bags. No, this is not a Jedi mind trick experiment in reverse psychology. Simply put: When even your plain jane Birkin bag (NOTE: Actually named after famed British-born actor and singer Jane Birkin) retails for $7,500 (or better), I can only imagine what profane price tag hangs from the pavé diamond bejewelled hardware of this beauty.
In the midst of this new global economy and the financial crunch that has caused us to become cash contortionists of sorts, the only way that I can even remotely justify this bag is to point out that Hermès handbags, particularly the Birkin model, regularly increase in value - so yeah, this could be considered a quasi-investment ... lol. I know, poor excuse for such a rich gift, huh? Well, Y.O.U. can't say that I didn't try ... lol. What's good?
