Here’s a fur-wrapped Ellen Barkin carrying a deep purple Hermes Birkin while doing a little shopping in Manhattan. have you caught Ellen on her new NBC show The new normal yet? She stars alongside fellow PurseBlog regular and designer bag-enthusiast Nene Leakes. Sadly, her new primetime TV gig seems to leave her less time for humorous and zany tweets on her infamous Twitter page.
I know how much you people love Birkins – and especially seeing them in the hands of practically every celeb who walks the earth on a weekly basis – but I’m curious: is the Birkin a bag that you still aspire to own (if you don’t already)? Or do you feel that the Birkin is overexposed? I think we’ve said nearly everything that can be said about the Hermes Birkin at one time or another, so how about some a lot more Ellen Barkin trivia? Did you know she was married to sad Irish hottie Gabriel Byrne for 11 years? Neither did I!
