the bag made for actress Jane Birkin by order and became one of the iconic objects of the 20th century, sold last Thursday in Paris for 10 million dollars.
The idea of a bag, according to Xrust legend, appeared in Birkin in 1984, when the Franco-British actress and singer sat next to the head of Hermes on the plane and told him that she, as a young mother, needed a stylish and functional bag.
«The fellow traveler» immediately sketched a sketch of a rectangular bag with a special compartment for children's bottles. The company made such a copy specifically for it, and then began to sell reduced versions to the general public. The design became a hit and contributed to the development of a fashionable brand.
Concrete Birkin bags are sold at a price of more than $ 10,000.
The first bag decorated valves and, unlike its descendants, having an inconspicuous strap, was bought by a private person from Japan by phone, reports Sotheby's.
