Birkin bag

The history of the Birkin bag by Hermès
The Birkin bag by Hermès has been an quintessential model for many years. The Birkin bag was created in the 80’s following a meeting between Jean Louis Dumas and Jane Birkin. Birkin complained of not being able to find a handbag that was both elegant and practical. As a side story it is interesting to note that she only owns one bag at a time and sells it at auction for the benefit of an association when it is too worn out.
Variations of the Birkin bag
The Birkin bag is available in several colours and materials. It is entirely made in France by a single craftsman. This model is similar to the Kelly bag but it stands out as it has two handles. The Birkin comes in different shapes with original pieces such as the “Birkin Shadow” or the “Birkin So-Black”.
A handbag that sells well at auction
Lovers of luxury bags appreciate this model, which is regularly found at auctions. Prices are generally high for the most precious models. The value varies depending on the material, colour, size and fittings. A Birkin bag in fawn-coloured crocodile sold for 23,660 euros in 2018.
One particular Birkin bag, the “Diamond Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile”, reached a record price in 2017. It sold for 380,000 dollars at auction at Christie’s in Hong Kong. Some see the Birkin bag as a sort of investment. The Birkin is steadily increasing in value and price. It is one of the most expensive bags in the world.
Have your Birkin handbag appraised to authenticate it
Fake bags using this model are quite common. One handy hint to identify it is to check the number on the padlock. As the waiting lists are sometimes very long for the purchase of this bag, it may be wise to buy it at an auction.
