I have a love/hate relationship with Hermès. I love the Birkin (but not when I see it in the Avenues at least 6 times in one day! Or at very formal events), I love Lindy, Kelly, Jypsiere, JPG, HAC, Kelly Longue, Clic Clac bangle, scarves.. etc. But I hate the attitude of it's staff, not all of them of course. Some of the sales people I met in different Hermès Boutiques were extremely friendly and down to earth. But the majority had a major attitude. Maybe that's part of the brand's identity?Anyhow, The 170-year-old luxury brand is now available in Bahrain's Moda Mall. It seems that Hermès has not been affected by the recession like other fashion houses. Because I saw 2 kellys in store that were snatched up immediately the next day. And sorry girls, No birkins are available for now.

I recommend to anyone slightly ineterested in the Birkin story to read MICHAEL TONELLOs bok
"Bringing home the Birkin"
It is a great read and just shows how "easy" it is to get a Birkin :)
I like the "Men's" giant purple Birkin that Pharell carries around all the time with his Donald Duck slippers inside.
And you're right Anonymous1, Hermes is Pure French Luxury...
(No Hermes in Saudi yet!)
Regarding the staff issue, they are stuck-ups, remember the Oprah incident in Hermes Paris boutique a few years ago?!
That was heinous:-D
