The Hermes Birkin

The Hermes Birkin bag has been a go-to bag for women wishing to simply their status and own a highly sought after luxury item. Today we can see the Birkin being carried by businesswomen to celebrities, and has been a staple of the successful woman since the mid 90's.

The bag was inspired by actress Jane Birkin when creative director Dumas sat next to her on a plane and noticed the contents spilling out of her purse. The two sparked a conversation about the ideal functional handbag, and thus the concept for the Birkin was born. At the time of its invention, the Birkin bag was a very different style from the traditional and more rigid Kelly bag, thus the delay in its popularity.


Designer and celebrity Victoria Beckham is rumored to have over 100 Birkin bags, a collection worth over 2 million dollars. Part of the fascination of the bag is its limited release, and the rarity of certain colors and prints. Some celebrities have jumped on a trend of customizing their Birkin bags by having them decorated or painted by artists.
