One of the most desirable and expensive bags in the world of Birkin was created in 1984 by the French Hermes Fashion House in honor of the British-French actress and singer Jane Birkin. According to legend, Birkin accidentally met the then Executive Director of Hermes Jean-Louis Dumas on an airplane and complained about the inconvenience of her bag.
