A Birkin is the most sought-after celebrity handbag in the world. Made by Hermes, to buy one you have to get on a waiting list just to get on a waiting list and, trust me, you cannot even get on that list! But tonight’s guest, MICHAEL TONELLO, cracked the code on how to get these mythical accouterments and then proceeded to live a wild life as he traveled throughout Europe, Asia and South America buying Birkins and re-selling them for a client list that included billionaires and celebrities of all stripes. Along the way he ran into a novel’s worth of shady characters, almost died, found true love and lived a life James Bond would have been envious of. Not bad for a kid from Provincetown. Michael’s hilarious account of his days as a “leather liaison” is titled: BRINGING HOME THE BIRKIN: MY LIFE IN HOT PURSUIT OF THE WORLD’S MOST COVETED HANDBAG.
