Further talking about her collection of Birkin bags, Ameesha shared that the price of her Birkin bag is almost Rs. 60 to 70 lakhs and added that it is cheaper than the bags that celebrities like Rihanna and Victoria Beckham own. She also spoke about how people wait for years to get a luxury bag customised for themselves and added:
“The one I have is a croc Birkin. The exotic skin is the most valuable like you can buy a house in place of this bag. That's how you know the price wise and difficulty wise it is. This bag is the most expensive. it's a Birkin and a crock, so the price is now about Rs. 60 to 70 lakhs. The ones that Victoria Beckham and Rihanna and all have diamonds which go into millions, so this is actually very cheap compared to the bags they have but this is the most expensive bag I would have in my collection.”
Ameesha further went on to reveal that she has a total of 16 Birkin bags in her collection as she is a complete Birkin girl. She also opened up about how it is a challenge to own a Birkin bag and added:
“Birkin on its own is very difficult to get but when it comes in exotic skin which is ostrich, lizard, snake, or crocodile skin, it's very very hard to get. It's very difficult to get a Birkin. You can be whoever, whatever but to get a Birkin is hard. I think I have about 16 Birkin in all shapes, sizes, colors, collected over the years; some passed down from family like heirlooms.”

Being an ardent bag collector, the actress revealed that she only buys limited edition bags that are unique to her. Speaking along the same lines, the actress shared that she keeps her bags like her babies and cherishes them. Ameesha also mentioned that it is almost impossible to get these bags now as they have all been out for a particular season only. She concluded:
“I keep them like babies like you would keep your child. All of them are cherished because if you can see none of them are run of the mill. You know all of them are limited edition. They're not the ones that you would typically find mass produced. Even within the brand itself. And they have all been out for a particular season, are hard to get and then you don't get them anymore.”
