The legendary Hermès Birkin 35 handbag was designed in the 1980s. The inspiration for the then CEO of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, was a chance meeting with the recently deceased actress and singer Jane Birkin on a plane three years earlier. Birkin expressed her desire for a handbag that would be both stylish and practical; this led to the creation of one of the world's most coveted handbags. Hermès handbags are meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques and premium materials involving high-quality leather, usually sourced from Hermès-owned tanneries. The craftsmanship, quality and exceptional attention to detail in their construction contribute to their longevity, making them timeless investment items.
