4. Hermes Birkin
Would it even be a handbag list without a Birkin?
The legend of the Birkin goes something like this, according to Hermes.
“Who could have imagined that one of the most coveted objects of recent decades would be born in the sky, in 1984, on a flight from Paris to London? British actress Jane Birkin, sitting next to Jean-Louis Dumas, Executive Chairman of Hermès (1978-2006), was complaining that she couldn’t find a bag suitable for her needs as a young mother. A born creator with a keen eye, he immediately sketched a supple and spacious rectangular holdall with a burnished flap and saddle stitching. With a dedicated space for her baby’s bottles!”
Birkins can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can also snag a pre-loved bag that makes our best luxury item list for four figures.
