Jane Birkin, the English-French actress and style icon, etched her name in fashion history by inspiring the creation of one of the most iconic handbags in the world: the Hermès Birkin. The story behind the Birkin bag is as legendary as the bag itself. It all began in 1984, during a serendipitous flight from Paris to London. Jane Birkin, frustrated by the lack of a handbag that could meet her needs for both practicality and elegance, found herself seated next to Jean-Louis Dumas, the then-CEO of Hermès. In a 45-minute conversation, she described her ideal handbag—spacious, sophisticated, and effortlessly chic. What emerged from this discussion was a design that would soon revolutionize the world of luxury handbags: the Birkin.

What began as a solution to a personal need soon became one of the most coveted and elusive bags on the planet. Over the years, the Hermès Birkin has come to symbolize the ultimate expression of luxury, exclusivity, and elegance. Its masterfully crafted design, created from the finest materials by Hermès artisans, combined with its rarity, has made the Birkin a status symbol sought after by collectors and fashion connoisseurs alike. With waiting lists that span years and limited availability, the Birkin bag continues to captivate the fashion world, standing at the pinnacle of haute couture accessories.

This October, the Birkin takes center stage in an extraordinary exhibition at Sotheby’s Paris, located in their newly opened premises on Avenue Matignon. The exhibition will showcase not just any Birkin but a piece of history: the very first Birkin ever gifted to Jane Birkin herself. This particular bag, crafted from luxurious Barenia leather with gold hardware and featuring the iconic “Flower of Life” design, is a true testament to the timeless beauty and heritage of Hermès. Alongside this iconic piece, Sotheby’s will hold a sale of rare vintage Birkins and Kellys on October 31st, offering collectors and enthusiasts the unique opportunity to acquire these timeless pieces. The exhibition and sale provide a rare glimpse into the history of the Hermès brand, celebrating its legacy and craftsmanship.
