The actress Birkin’s bag sold at auction for 10 million dollars
A bag made for actress Jane Birkin by special order and considered one of the iconic items of the 20th century was sold last Thursday in Paris for 10 million dollars. According to legend, the idea for the bag https://xrust.ru/ came to Birkin in 1984 when the Franco-British actress and singer was sitting next to the head of Hermes on a plane and told him that, as a young mother, she needed a stylish and functional bag. Her “travel companion” immediately sketched a rectangular bag with a special compartment for baby bottles. The company created this unique piece specifically for her and later began selling smaller versions to the general public. The design became a hit and contributed to the development 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.
