The institute of Luxury pointed the latest survey that the rich Chinese think top three luxury brands are Hermes,Prada and Ferragamo. But in China, how many people think they are rich? And how many rich would buy Hermes or Prada as they buy Mcdonald? An entry-level Hermes Kelly or Birkin is needed RMB87,000 at least,and they have to wait about one year to have them. But Hermes still has lots fans,even they now can’t afford one or will not afford in the furture. These fans often confuse Kelly and Birkin,including me. Hope my article will help you to know the difference between Kelly and Birkin.

Birkin was born in 1984,French female singer Jean Birkin met the president of Hermes Jean-Louis Dumas on the airplane,she complained to the president: “Kelly is too small,now I can’t find a excellent workmanship and practical big bag to use.” So,the Jean-Louis Dumas designed her a handbag and named the handbag with “Birkin”. Then here Birkin was.

Birkin as a “milk bag” at the first time,so it’s bigger than other line of handbags,its colors are more bright too,easy to match with dress. Birkin has four size: 30cm,35cm,40cm and 45cm, and Birkin has two handgrips,for portable only.

Kelly was born in 1956,Compare with Birkin,Kelly is smaller,Kelly has two size 28cm and 32cm,till 1968, a mini Kelly was born,and in 1980,Hermes added a 40cm size for Kelly. Kelly shows different charm in a relative small and exquisite,lots of stars love it so much. Kelly just has one handgrip,and there is a sash for shoulder too. Whatever Kelly or Birkin are hand-made,and would sign with the worker’s name inside the bag.
