Khloe Kardashian posted a picture of her daughter, True, which is seen surrounded by colorful bags. When we say "bags" we do not mean any bag. If we do not mistake, True is surrounded by 14 Birkin bags, the price ranges from $ 11,000 to $ 300,000.
With an average rating, the price of the fourteen is roughly ... ok, let's go!
Birkin has a unique history and is not considered to be the most famous bag in the world.
It was designed for the French icon, Jane Birkin. In 1983, Hermès's executive director Jean-Louis Dumas was traveling to Jane Birkin from Paris in London. The bag was created after Hermès's CEO saw Birkin papers scattered everywhere during the flight. At that moment, he proposed to design a purse specially for him and draw the idea in a cardboard bag on the plane for the passengers who are not well off.
Each bag is hand-made and needs more than 48 hours to produce. Bags are handled in France by craftsmen who work, paint and paint everything. Every craftsman has a set of personal tools, which they can take with them if they retire.
Hermès Birkin has broken the record of the world's most expensive bag. It was sold at an auction for $ 380,000 at an event held in Hong Kong in June 2017. Until then, the record was kept by another Birkin bag sold for $ 300,000 in 2016. Created in 2014, the Himalaya type purse was made of gold-plated leather with gloves made of 205 diamonds and 18 carat gold. Birkin Himalayas took this name from the color of the bag, which comes from gray to pearl white, similar to the mountain tonalities.
Jane Birkin had only 5 of her "bags". She kept them until they were undone. He also decorated them with stickers, spilles or beads. But Victoria Beckham is acting differently. She has more 100 Birkin.
A Birkin is a smarter purchase than stock market shares. They have an annual return of around 14.2% which is higher than gold and average share.
