To celebrate its 12th anniversary, luxury consignment shop Mine & Yours, located in Yorkville, is giving away a Birkin bag at an upcoming celebration.

Imagine arriving to the party not being the owner of a Birkin, and leaving among the ranks of Jennifer Lopez, Kathy Hilton, Law Roach and Lil’ Kim? Your life could change faster than you can say “Poshmark.”

Since 1984, the Hermès Birkin has been considered one of the most desired handbags, and is a symbol of supreme status in the fashion world.

The style Mine & Yours will give to a lucky winner later this month is a 2019 Hermès M8 Gris Asphalte Taurillon Novillo Leather Birkin 30 GHW.

We’re sure whoever wins the coveted luxury piece will make their glamorous new identity abundantly clear on social media. We would too.

Go ahead and casually hang that Birkin over a doorknob in the background of your selfies.
