“Michael Tonello's "Brining Home the Birkin" is a fabulous memoir of Tonello's world tour of Birkin hunting. Michael's pursuit of one of the world's most elusive and coveted bags is fresh, witty, smart, enchanting, and lovable. You'll love the colourful characters, all with their own virtues, and Tonello's lessons in the face of excess and loss. With an incredibly creative Birkin bag cover, stylish illustrations, and incredible tales, this a perfect shelf addition whether you indulge in high fashion, admire from afar, or don't know the difference between haute and goat. An all around great book. The writing style is light and near conversational, and by the end you'll feel like Michael's confidant(e).
Bravo Tonello! 10/10!”
