The Birkin bag by Hermès takes its name from the English singer and actress Jane Birkin, muse of designers year after year, who during a meeting with Jean Louis Dumas, president of the firm, on a plane, explained to him that she could not find a comfortable travel bag where she could keep her baby's bottles, her book, etc., and which was also easy to open. Together they designed the Birkin bag to meet Jane's needs, resulting in an accessory that has become one of the most sought-after icons in the fashion world. The spectacular bag has a spacious interior with multiple pockets and, as Jane Birkin wished, it is easy to open. It is also a very difficult bag to obtain, as very few are made and there is a long waiting list, which can be years long. This fact, combined with its sober, classic and timeless design, made the Birkin a legend and a collector's item for the renowned Hermès firm.
