The actress Birkin’s bag sold at auction for $10 million
A bag made for actress Jane Birkin on request, which became one of the iconic items of the 20th century, was sold last Thursday in Paris for $10 million. According to legend, the idea for the bag https://xrust.ru/ came to Birkin in 1984 when the Franco-British actress and singer was seated next to the head of Hermes on a plane and mentioned that, as a young mother, she needed a stylish and functional bag. Her “fellow passenger” immediately sketched a design for a rectangular bag with a special compartment for baby bottles. The company created this piece especially for her and later began selling smaller versions to the general public. The design became a hit and contributed to the growth of the fashion brand. Regular Birkin bags sell for over $10,000. The first bag, adorned with Birkin’s initials JB on the flap and, unlike its successors, featuring a non-detachable strap, was purchased by a private buyer from Japan over the phone, according to Sotheby’s.
