The Birkin Bag by Hermès
- Jane Birkin, the English-French actress and singer, became an unexpected fashion icon when a chance encounter with Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight led to the creation of one of the most coveted bags in the world.
- The Birkin bag was born from a simple complaint about the impracticality of existing handbags. Dumas listened and designed a spacious, functional, yet incredibly stylish bag, which debuted in 1984.
- Made from high-quality leather, the Birkin bag is known for its roomy interior, sturdy handles, and classic yet versatile design. It features a signature lock and key, adding to its exclusivity.
- With waiting lists spanning years and prices ranging from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand dollars, the Birkin bag remains a symbol of ultimate luxury and status.
