Dupe for Hermès Birkin Bag

Major alert! I'm calling all Birkin bag fans and brand-whores like moi! Blanco is selling a dupe for Hermès Birkin Bag. Cheap as chips... Only 30 dollars. Don't believe it? You're the one who loses...

Blanco "Birkin" Bag

 Victoria Beckham and some of her Birkin bags

Invoco todas as fãs da famosa mala Birkin da Hermès e brand-whores like moi. Na verdade, para quem é fanático pela famosa mala Birkin da Hermès, inspirada na famosa cantora e cineasta Jane Birkin, a Blanco está a vender por uns meros 24,99 € esta "réplica" em diferentes tons. Uma boa aposta se formos a comparar a diferença astronómica de milhares de euros, embora esta "réplica" deixe um pouco a desejar na qualidade... Mas, para quem não é muito exigente e picuinhas com os materiais, aqui fica a dica.
