There are a lot of reasons including scarcity. Perhaps you recall the Sex in the City episode when Samantha tried to get on the waiting list for a Birkin and was eventually bounced off it by the actress Lucy Liu. Of course, the fact that they can cost $25,000 adds to their prestige.
big deal? these are the most coveted bags in the history of handbags. each kelly and birkin bag are made by hand. when i mean by hand, i mean literally without sewing machines, but a needle and thread. also, a lot of time and skill is put into making a hermes bag..
haha omg they totally butchered the spelling (wtf is a birken bag?!) and the reporter kept pronouncing "hermes" incorrectly!

I know who the Birkins are (great story and love in their family), but why are these Birkin bags such big deals????
