Birkin style isn’t just for women — now, swanky guys are grabbing the pricey haute bag
NY Post
Whether chillin’ or workin’, Jacob Godfrey’s got his Birkin.
Much like the Hollywood hunks and A-list athletes who elevate their swag with the Hermès handbag, he’s leading the charge in the “Man Birkin” movement — a fashion-forward fad for the fellas.
“It complements my outfits, and it’s really practical,” Godfrey, 33, of Fort Greene, told The Post, gushing over the $12,000, black box leather number he shares with wife, Sarah, 32, on days his looks need a splash of luxe.
“I dress more traditionally masculine,” said the digital marketing executive, “and I carry a very beautiful bag.”
It’s hard-to-get garniture that’s no stranger to the spotlight — especially since the original Birkin sold for a historic $8 million at auction earlier this month.
Female fashionistas have fawned over the finery for decades, partly due to its show-stopping cameo on “Sex and the City” in the early 2000s, crystallized by the echoing line “It’s not a bag, it’s a Birkin.”
