If you can’t daydream on a Friday, when can you? And today we have definitely found the stuff dreams are made of, unless you have a spare $225,000 lying around.

This 35cm Birkin made by Hermès is crafted from black Porosus Crocodile, highlighted by 18kt white gold hardware and surrounded by 10 carats of VVSF quality diamonds. The detail alone includes 7 diamonds on the clasp, 16 diamonds on the brackets, an amazing 182 diamonds on the side strap plaques, and an incredible 40 diamonds on the bag’s padlock. Adding to its rarity is the fact that the gem work was done by Hermès.

The one-of-a-kind diamond-encrusted Hermès Birkin Bag. is one of the first expensive bags to be offered by  www.1stdibs.com, and to date only one other Hermès bag of this caliber has ever before been offered for sale on the secondary market at auction.

It will be offered for sale on 1stdibs, making it the most expensive Hermès bag the site has ever sold. The sale goes live on 1stdibs.com on September 12, 2012 at 4pm.

Now where did we put that row of lottery tickets?
