Our Heart Is Here

This is from Brixton where the local people are currently fighting to save the arches. Where at the weekend a young man old boy dressed all in black smashed the window of a Foxtons. I condone this action.
This is from Brixton where the local people are currently fighting to save the arches. Where at the weekend a young man old boy dressed all in black smashed the window of a Foxtons. I condone this action. This post was written following seeing Carmen Disruption.

The train tracks are singing

The train tracks are singing to me
I have never heard them sing like this

I put my headphones in
I put my head phones in with nothing playing which is the closest I get to this city
I leave the theatre and
I put my headphones in with nothing playing and the streets look like they’re lit by par cans and fresnels
An old man whose beard furrows into his hat sings as he passes me and it sounds French or Italian.
A sign in a shop window lettered like ‘keep calm’ reads ‘love is only mad-‘ but I can’t read the rest of the message
Petals of blossom filter down through the air like sunlight and confetti

I have my headphones in with nothing playing and I listen to the city. This city that never feels like a place I would be, I feel small and successful. A man sat on the floor with a tin in front of him reads a book through gloveless fingers

The eyes of a young man or old boy linger on me, brown eyes and corn rows I glance behind me and he turns and follows.

He’s following me along the street, I see it in the reflection of the Wetherspoons and another young man old boy glances at me then talks to the friend and I hear him say ‘she had headphones in’ as I walk on

It is only at Warren Street I realise they probably wanted me to buy them some beer at Budgens.

I wonder if I would have done,
I feel bad for feeling threatened by them. I feel like If I hadn’t have been wearing headphones and they had asked I wouldn’t have known what to do and probably would have done something terrible like make them promise that they’d do something to make up for getting drunk tonight, like call their grandmothers, or read a book I could recommend them.

Or go to the theatre. I could buy them a ticket to go see the play I just saw. I would explain to them who Kate Tempest is and how I feel now like I did after I saw her raise her voice with poetry of broken hearts and broken people like myths and heroes. ‘It’s mostly about mobile phones, and cities’, I would say, ‘and how capitalism is on the floor, bleeding and we are black, black, black with its blood’.

And they would let me buy them the beer and give me fake email addresses to send the ticket references to.

It takes me to Pimlico to finish the thought of what I would do about a thing that never happened.
I’ve been trying to remember who described contemporary technology in the city as cultivating a new ‘alone together’.
I think it was maybe Graeme Miller, but if it wasn’t, if I start by looking there, I think that’s the way I’ll remember where to find it

I think “I’ll look it up on my phone when I get to Brixton”.

  13. The Hermes Birkin handbag represents perhaps the most iconic symbol of opulence in the fashion world.
    Named after actress and singer Jane Birkin, this meticulously
    crafted purse has transcended its status as a mere fashion item to become a status symbol and prized possession that often appreciates in value with passing years.
    With prices starting from five figures and reservation lists that can stretch years, the
    Birkin symbolizes the pinnacle of rarity in premium fashion items.

    The History and Legacy
    The Birkin bag was conceived from a fortuitous meeting in 1984 when Jane
    Birkin, sitting next to Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight from Paris to
    London, expressed frustration over not finding a leather weekend bag
    that suited her needs. Dumas immediately sketched a design on an airplane sickness bag—and the Birkin was born.
    Every Birkin is handcrafted by a single skilled worker in France,
    needing between 18 and 25 hours to produce.

    This painstaking workmanship, combined with the use of exceptional materials, accounts for both its considerable
    price tag and remarkable durability.
    Dimensions and Varieties
    The Birkin comes in multiple sizes, each marked by
    the bag’s width in centimeters:
    Birkin 25cm: The most sought-after size nowadays, perfect for everyday essentials while staying elegant and compact
    Birkin 30cm: The standard size that merges practicality with elegance
    Birkin 35cm: A roomier option favored for its space as a day
    bag or for travel
    Birkin 40cm: More rare, designed for journeys
    or as a bold fashion statement
    Luxury Materials and Artisanship
    Hermes obtains the most exceptional materials for its Birkin bags, with options including:

    Togo Calfskin: A sturdy, pebbled leather with a gentle
    sheen
    Clemence: A more flexible leather with a matte finish
    Epsom: A grained printed leather celebrated for being lightweight
    and scratch-resistant
    Swift: A refined leather with a inherent sheen
    Ostrich: Characterized by its characteristic quill bumps
    Lizard: Displaying delicate, small scales in a unique pattern
    Crocodile and Alligator: The most exclusive and
    expensive options, displaying larger scales and incredible
    luster
    The Most Desired Editions
    Among enthusiasts and fans, certain Birkin editions stand out for their remarkable rarity and appeal:
    Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Birkin: Often called “the Holy Grail”
    of purses, this bag features meticulously dyed crocodile skin that creates a tonal effect
    reminiscent of the Himalayan mountains. When embellished with diamond hardware, these bags have sold at
    sale for over $300,000.
    Diamond Birkins: Showcasing hardware encrusted with
    diamonds, these symbolize the ultimate fusion of handbag expertise and high jewelry.

    Sellier vs. Retourne: Birkins come in two primary construction styles—the firm Sellier with visible outside stitching or the softer Retourne with internal stitching.

    Limited Editions: Special collections like the Faubourg
    (resembling the façade of the Hermes flagship store) or Cargo (featuring additional
    external pockets) demand significant premiums.
    HSS (Horseshoe Stamp): These custom-made Birkins allow clients to tailor color
    combinations and hardware, making them one-of-a-kind
    collector’s items.
    Color Spectrum
    Hermès is renowned for its wide color palette, with certain hues attaining legendary status
    among collectors:
    Noir (Black): The classic versatile option
    Gold: A deep caramel tan that has become a signature Hermes color
    Blue Electric: A intense, saturated blue
    Rouge H: A deep Hermès red with brownish undertones
    Taupe: A sophisticated neutral gray-brown
    Craie: A soft off-white shade
    Vert (various green shades): From deep forest to bright emerald
    tones
    The Investment Value
    While premium fashion items typically decrease
    in worth after purchase, Birkins often grow more valuable—particularly rare colors, exotic materials, or limited editions.
    The resale market for certified Birkins has developed substantially, with some styles increasing in value 14%
    annually on average, outperforming traditional investment classes.

    Authentication Concerns
    The Birkin’s status as a luxury icon has unfortunately
    led to a substantial market for replicas. Authentic
    Birkins feature perfect craftsmanship with:
    Accurate, even stitching
    Superior hardware with proper engravings
    A exact date stamp format
    Included authenticity cards and proper packaging
    The unique Hermes saddle stitch
    Market Accessibility
    Obtaining a Birkin directly from an Hermes boutique remains challenging, as the bags are not displayed
    for regular purchase. Instead, they are typically presented to established clients who
    have shown loyalty to the brand. This planned scarcity has only enhanced the Birkin’s iconic position and allure.

    Cultural Impact
    The Birkin has been showcased prominently in popular culture, perhaps most memorably in an episode of “Sex and the City” where Samantha uses
    a client’s name to avoid the waiting list, and in numerous celebrity photos.
    It has become a symbol for unparalleled luxury and exclusivity, with collectors creating entire “collections” of different sizes, colors, and materials.

    Summary
    More than just a handbag, the Hermes Birkin represents the meeting of masterful artistry, enduring design, and deliberate exclusivity.

    Its ongoing popularity despite its considerable price point demonstrates both
    its superiority and the powerful allure of owning something truly extraordinary.
    For fashion enthusiasts and collectors alike, the Birkin remains the definitive statement piece—a true icon that goes beyond fashion trends to achieve the status of fashion masterwork.
