Fashion Hurts

Jane Birkin claims that her eponymous Hermes bag has given her tendonitis

Turns out that it’s not just sky-high Manolos and hobble skirts that cause fashion accidents. Fashion Watch reports that iconic singer Jane Birkin has ditched her own Hermes Birkin bag claiming that it was responsible for her tendonitis.

Birkin was quoted as saying:

That bloody thing. I told Hermes they were mad to make it. My one was always full and it ended up giving me tendonitis.

Expect to see young starlets’s skinny wrists snapping under the strain all over LA…
