@sothebys: #JaneBirkin’s original #Hermès #Birkin bag is the genesis of a global cultural phenomenon. Forty years after its creation – and just days before the iconic accessory heads to auction at Sotheby’s Paris – author Marisa Meltzer, editor Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele and curator Dr. Lucia Savi explain why there’s never been another handbag quite like it. The Original Birkin is on view at #SothebysParis ahead of the live auction on 10 July. Visit Sothebys.com for more. #fashion #fashiontiktok #hermes #hermesbirkin #handbag
the only modern celebrity to use the birkin correctly is mary kate.

Sadly Jane would be horrified to see what it was priced at today. She wanted this to be the “everyday” woman’s bag. So very far from it. 😔

Just regular leather bag. Nothing iconic or special about it. Only special is the price 😂

It’s beautiful when it’s used. It’s boring when it’s collected

The price of a Birkin would afford rent and utilities for a family in need. The price of a Birkin would pay at least the first year of my daughter’s education. The cost of a Birkin would pay for medications for someone in dire need. The cost of a Birkin would give a whole community Thanksgiving and Christmas. The cost of a Birkin would drastically assist healthcare research. As fabulous as they are, in my opinion, it’s irresponsible to own a Birkin.

These people don't understand The bag and it's use. This is meant for bag people/moms/people with everything but the kitchen sink. The elites caused the misuse of the bag.
