Birkin Bag: Born In Heaven
The story behind the creation of the world’s most expensive handbag and the actress who inspired the creation of this icon
The Birkin Bag — because of its extremely high price — is recognized as a symbol of wealth, desire, and exclusivity. Its value increases almost as much as gold, even when the item is used.
The woman who inspired the prized luxury handbag recounts that since the age of 17, she had been using not a handbag, but a Portuguese wicker basket.
The popular and one of the most expensive luxury bags of all time was born almost by accident in an airplane, and out of a company’s direct relationship with a consumer. Of course, the company was not just any company, and the consumer was not just any consumer.
Let’s now dig into the story behind the Birkin Bag!
Who Was the Consumer?
Jane Birkin is the woman who inspired and gave her name to the Birkin Bag. Singer, songwriter, actress, model, and owner of natural beauty, with a loose bohemian vibe and incredibly chic yet simplistic ensembles, which she mixed with her own style.
