The Little Guide to the Birkin Bag
Formats & Editions
The iconic bag that has stood the test of time.
There is no handbag that says luxury quite like the Hermes Birkin. Created for and named after the Anglo-French actress Jane Birkin in 1984, the Hermes Birkin has dominated red-carpets and the arms of the rich and famous for over forty years. Famously difficult to attain, the Hermes Birkin has acquired a near-mythical reputation as the world's most-coveted handbag.
Trace the fascinating history of the Hermes Birkin's, from its chance-creation and many iterations, as well as the intricate craftsmanship that goes into each piece and the plethora of stars who have carried it, from Kate Moss to Victoria Beckham.

Each Birkin bag is made by a specially trained Hermes artisan who can take between 18 to 24 hours to create just one piece. The Paris workrooms only produce five or six bags a week, fuelling the Birkin's reputation as the most exclusive handbag in the world.
