The very first of the famed Hermès Birkin handbags, made for the late actress, musician, and model Jane Birkin, sold for $10.1 million, claiming the title of the most valuable handbag ever to be sold at auction.
“Well I bought the original Birkin bag from a guy on the 4 train, so somebody’s lying.”
Louie Shawky, Pinwheel Assembler
“I didn’t realize Jane Birkin was named after a bag.”
