    Funny thing is, Jane Birkin just wanted a bag that could fit all her shit. Girl used to lug around a wicker basket to carry her things around.

    I used to see these all over NYC in the early 2000’s…and thought they were pretty ugly bags. The funny thing is that their namesake Jane Birkin is really a bohemian hippie at heart and would never want an exclusive bag that you have to be waitlisted and judged in order to obtain. I guarantee you, if most Birkin owners saw this bag in a radon store or out in the wild with no context, they wouldn’t want one. It’s all just clout!

Then it was launched, everyone wanted one, but it was only for the rush, when Paris Hilton was seen with one, the bags fame blew up in popularity. Now it's worth min$500k

    It's not only about rarity. Hermès had a lot of issues with resellers, especially in France. As in, people would buy a whole bunch of bags in France where they're cheaper and then take them somewhere else and sell them for a lot more. So they doubled down on who could buy them to make sure they weren't being re-sold. They also have a one bag per family per year policy to make sure ppl don't do this.

    Hermès bags are great quality, but the Birkin is played out af. And honestly they have such robust accessories, fragrance, and home lines, but people ignore all that awesome stuff and cause drama over the same 3 or 4 bag models. Hermès is a great brand with real savoir faire, but resellers and people who don’t know how to be patients and enjoy things are busy ruining it IMO.

    It wasn’t made by Jane Birkin. She was the muse for the bag. She was carrying a shitty beach bag and was sat beside Jean Louis Dumas, head designer of Hermes at the time. He asked her why the beach bag and she told him she couldn’t find a carry on that was large enough and not cumbersome. Voila the Birkin was born. It does make an excellent travel bag, especially the larger Birkin, but, it’s a very heavy bag, so I definitely don’t think it’s not cumbersome. Also, only the Himalayan Birkin is that expensive. They are absolutely ridiculously priced. People act really stupid over them. Just buy preloved and get what you want. Instead of sucking up to the vultures who sell them at Hermes.
