t's the most coveted and elusive bag of all time. The symbol of wealth and status. The majority of the population will never own one because of the hefty price tag. What is it? It's the Birkin bag of course. But now all of us can have one... How? Read on.I came across 2 brands- Banana Taipei and Thursday Friday a while ago and since then have considered buying one of their products. They're not exactly fake designer Birkins. It's actually a play on the Birkin. Basically both companies print the original Birkin bag on their canvas tote bags on all sides, but it's obviously a canvas bag. I saw Misslovely with the Banana Taipei one and fell in love. Since then, I've seen another company, Thursday Friday, with their own version. I'm liking the Banana Taipei one better because it looks like it's better quality. I have emailed banana.tpe@gmail.com to see if they can ship it to me. Apparently it is $49.99 + shipping. *UPDATE* It's actually $69.99USD + $20 shipping. They are taking orders on February 15 at 12pm GMT+8. The one I'm eyeing is the one in Tiffany Blue:
The front. I love how the handle of the canvas tote is coloured to make it look like it's the continuation of the handle of the Birkin. The Thursday Friday one doesn't have coloured handles.
The backside.
The side.
The other side.
Even the bottom is printed. So ingenious!
Here's the Thursday Friday version:
Cute, but definitely not as pretty as the Banana Taipei.
