Hermes and their Birkin bags!!
Ladies and gentleman,
This weeks emphasis, is on the Berkins Bag by Hermes. Yes, its been around since it was first designed and named after the actress Jane Birkin (lucky! I wonder if she would get them for free?!).
It has an interesting history as to how it came around!
In 1981, Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas was seated next to Jane Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. She had just placed her straw bag in the overhead compartment of her seat, but the contents fell to the ground, leaving her to scramble to replace the contents. Birkin explained to Monsieur Dumas that it had been difficult to find a leather weekend bag she liked. In 1984, he created a black supple leather bag for her,based on an 1892 design. She used the bag for herself, of course, but, later changed her mind. Nevertheless, the bag has since become an icon.
They come in a range of sizes, colours, materials and range of prices up to over US$150 000!!
And guess what! drum roll!
