US Man Makes Birkin Bag From Scratch For Girlfriend’s Anniversary

What would you do if your loved one often joked about wanting a Hermes bag as an anniversary gift? You’d either oblige if you can afford the high-end luxury brand creation or delight them with something else. Hermes bags are some of the most coveted handbags in the world, and the company is famous for strictly controlling the supply in multiple astonishing ways. The price tag alone is eye-watering. But it’s not just the price that makes a Birkin so coveted by bag lovers and fashionistas: over time, these purses have become status symbols in their own right. They can appreciate an asset.

But owning a Hermes bag is challenging, even if you have the money. If you want to buy one from the brand directly, you must book an appointment at a Hermes boutique online on a specific date and time. And if you don’t get selected that day, you might not get another chance.

And once you’re in the store, you’ll still need to develop a strong relationship with a Sales Associate (SA) and impress them enough that they invite you to purchase a Birkin bag. Once that happens, you’ll likely be able to order the exact style, color, leather, and hardware you want. But that’s only for long-term Hermes customers who have a relationship with their SA and are invited into the boutique for a custom Hermes Horseshoe Stamp bag.

Despite these difficulties, many Hermes fans aren’t giving up hope. US real estate agent Alexander Tsway recently took the matter into his own hands and made a? Birkin? Replica from scratch on his own for his girlfriend. And he shared the entire process on TikTok for all to see.

In the two videos posted to the social media platform, Tsway explains the whole process, from selecting and purchasing his Hermes leather material to sewing the final product together. He worked on the project for 60 days and slept at his parents and his brother’s house. Ultimately, he completed his Hermes masterpiece one month late for his girlfriend’s anniversary.

The result is spectacular, and he’s received much love from the online community for his DIY Hermes project. Tsway says he wanted to show his girlfriend MJ that he loved her and was willing to take the time, energy, and care to surprise her with such a thoughtful gift.

And he was right to do so – MJ loved the finished product and was thoroughly impressed and happy with it. While he admits he doesn’t know if she would prefer the fake or the real thing, he’s thrilled she’s happy with it anyway. It’s a beautiful, touching story of romance and craftsmanship. And it’s a lesson in how much Hermes is more than just a fancy handbag.
