The original Birkin bag, created by Hermès for Jane Birkin in 1984, is up for auction in Paris. The bag, named after the late actor, singer, and fashion icon, is expected to fetch hundreds of thousands of euros at the auction by Sotheby’s. It was born out of a chance encounter on a flight in the 1980s when Birkin sketched out her ideal handbag on an airplane vomit sack for the then head of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas. The bag became a symbol of luxury and exclusivity, with a long waiting list and extravagant price tag. Described as a legendary handbag, the original Birkin has seven unique design elements that distinguish it from later versions.
