The original Birkin with her bag

Classic! The Hermès Birkin bag was first made and named after the British singer Jane Birkin in 1984. As the story goes, on a flight from Paris to London in that year, her favorite handbag, an Hermès Kelly bag spilled the content onto the floor. While complaining about the impracticality of the bag, the then CEO of Hermès, overheard her lamenting, as he was also a passenger on the plane. During subsequent conversations, Jane Birkin designed what she considered to be the perfect bag. And hey presto….the amazing Birkin Bag!
