Jane Birkin’s Signature Bag Sells for Record Sum
Seven million euros plus auction fees: that's the price paid for the Birkin bag specially created by Hermès for actress, singer, and style icon Jane Birkin, CE Report quotes ANSA.
The ultimate “it bag,” which later became a symbol not only of wealth but also of access to the most exclusive elements of fashion, was the star of Sotheby’s Fashion Icons auction in Paris.
What would go on to become the most coveted and elusive accessory—featured across music, film, television, and art—was distinguished by seven unique design elements that set it apart from every other Birkin made thereafter.
