Birkins Ablaze

If you keep up with reality TV or the lives of the rich and useless then you heard about Clint Eastwood's daughter Francesca attacking a $100,000 Hermès Birkin handbag with a chainsaw before setting it on fire. It was all for art (thanks to Franny's avant-garde boyfriend), but the act offended many -- just think how far $100,000 can go in the real world. 

Well, according to Hermès themselves, the act of burning Birkins may not be as silly as it sounds. Should an Hermes bag have a single fault, it meets an untimely demise in the burner. Perfection is a word synonymous with the pricey designer name, but does that mean they should create such waste due to minor imperfections? I understand not wanting one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch, but I'm ready to be forgiving. Please send reject bags to Hallae's Hide-out Home for Hermès Handbags.
