I have been noticing a trend of many a gay man carrying a Birkin – I understand this is simply a status bag and I have no problem blurring gender lines when it comes to fashion. But it’s just not my style. And although I will always admit that Hermès is infinitely a more ‘luxe’ brand than Louis Vuitton (if that is the game you want to play), LV makes far better man-bags – especially when you stay away from the monogram print (the best Louis bags never look like Louis bags). So give your mom back her Birkin and pick up a Neo-Greenwhich.
Louis Vuitton‘s Neo Greenwich bag is cut from grained Taurillon calf leather; it is a refined reinvention of a classic doctor’s bag (which is what the BIrkin was based on as well btw). It is an ideal travel bag or a carry all for everyday. And at $6,750, you will still look like you’ve got lots of Benjamins even when you can’t pay rent.
