beach reading



It's many a girl's dream to own a Birkin bag (and some boys too). Fashionista Michael Tonello spent nearly a decade traveling the world in search of Birkins to resell on eBay. He once bought 140 of the coveted bags in a three month period! Tonello's forthcoming memoir Bringing Home the Birkin ($18) chronicles his hunt for the $8,000+ bag, of which Victoria Beckham is said to own 100.

"I began to feel like I was a drug dealer," he said. "You know, there are people that will do almost anything to get one of these bags."

This book may send you flying out of your beach chair to the nearest Hermes store. Hide your credit cards and beach happy reading!
