Publisher's Note

For more than twenty years, the HermÈs Birkin bag has been the iconic symbol of fashion, luxury, and wealth. With a fabled waiting list of more than two years to purchase one, the average fashionista has a better chance of climbing Mount Everest in Prada pumps than of possessing this coveted carryall. Unless, of course, she happens to know Michael Tonello. . . .

With down-to-earth wit, Michael Tonello chronicles the unusual ventures that took him to nearly every continent?and from eBay to Paris auction houses and into the lives of celebrities and poseurs alike?on the road to becoming a successful entrepreneur and Robin Hood to thousands of desperate rich women.



Industry Reviews
"[A] snarky, real-life adventure tale that I could barely put down....As Mr. Tonello pursues a career as an Hermès re-seller on eBay, he encounters romance, espionage, tragedy, even thugs."

A great romp through the world of way too expensive bags. Birkin bags. With the very rich, the very obsessed and the people who serve them beautifully and humorously detailed.

Great fun and an inspiration to E-Bayers. Michael got his start right here.
