It was the first time I had heard of Jimmy Choo and Birkin bag. I was watching a fabulous television show new to the WB on analog channel 11, The Gilmore Girls. The fast-talking, wisecracking, forever referencing classic television and movie genre mother and daughter character duo were shopaholics. Sometimes there was just one shopping bag, but most of the time there were several. I have always wanted to come home like that, with paper shopping bags overwhelming each hand. Never have, but always wanted to.
The Jimmy Choo shoes were Lorelai's (the mother) thing for which she had calculated her windfall of $70,000 would be roughly 250 pairs of Jimmy Choos. Really? Then Rory (the daughter) receives a Birkin bag from her boyfriend which causes her grandmother to rave on and on about it. Why? I wondered.
I found the too-tight $300 Jimmy Choos and the tote-like $22,000 Birkin bag at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Oh.
