The interesting story of how the Birkin bag was created

Hermes has carved its name in golden letters in the history of fashion and one of its iconic products is the Birkin bag.

Considered a symbol of social status for those who own it, this product is very difficult to own, so it remains the exclusive property of millionaires and the most famous public figures in the world.

While the price of her most expensive bag exceeds the figure of 200,000 dollars.

But how was this bag created?

Birkin was named in honor of Jane Birkin, the British actress who recently passed away at the age of 76. Its creation was an accident in the 80s. At the time, the executive director of Hermes, Jean-Louis Dumas, was traveling by plane from Paris to London, and the actress in question was sitting next to him.

Jane ends up dropping everything in her bag on the floor, and Dumas suggests that she get a satchel. That's how long it took to start a conversation about the design of the accessory, for which Birkin herself has shown in an interview that at the time she had described her idea like this:

"...It should be a bag bigger than Kelly but smaller than Serge." The bag had to be stylish and convenient to keep on the wrist most of the time.

The Birkin didn't become famous immediately, in fact it became a hit 30 years after its creation and can now be bought at auctions, if you have exclusive access to Hermes and shops, like ViaAnabel.al , for secondhand items that have managed to buy it. from previous owners.
