Bringing Home the Birkin: My Life in Hot Pursuit of the World's Most Coveted Handbag Paperback - 2009
by Michael Tonello
An American expatriate living in Barcelona gives his hilarious, whirlwind account of the years he spent globetrotting and gaming the Herms system to buy and resell hundreds of impossible-to-get handbags on the Internet. 16-page color photo insert.
From the rear cover
For more than twenty years, the Herms Birkin bag has been the iconic symbol of fashion, luxury, and wealth. With a fabled waiting list of more than two years to purchase one, the average fashionista has a better chance of climbing Mount Everest in Prada pumps than of possessing this coveted carryall. Unless, of course, she happens to know Michael Tonello. . . .
With down-to-earth wit, Michael Tonello chronicles the unusual ventures that took him to nearly every continent--and from eBay to Paris auction houses and into the lives of celebrities and poseurs alike--on the road to becoming a successful entrepreneur and Robin Hood to thousands of desperate rich women.
