Interview: Michael Tonello Brings Home The Birkin

Bringing Home the Birkin, by Michael Tonello

For many, the coveted Birkin bag is a symbol of wealth and iconic luxury, but for American author, Michael Tonello, the handbag was a way of life. After years of success as a stealth Birkin bag-buyer and eBay re-seller, Tonello decided to ditch the profession and put pen to paper in his first ever memoir, Bringing Home the Birkin: My Life In Hot Pursuit of the World's Most Coveted Handbag.
