Book review: Bringing Home The Birkin

This book is the biography of Michael Tonello, a Birkin reseller that made lots of money by beating Hermes at its own game. It is a really good read packed with humour and vivid descriptions of the experiences he went through.

It entails how Michael got bored of the usual stuff he was doing as a hair stylist and took the chance to relocate to Barcelona, a place he fell in love with till this day. With meticulous details of how the story unfold, this book is cleverly written.

Look out for his perspective to life, which I find interesting, and also the way he packed details such as pictures and sketches to make it a great read.
