Description
The Origin Story of the Birkin Bag
The design idea for the Birkin Bag emerged during a flight in 1983. Louis Dumas, the former head of the family-owned company Hermès, encountered British actress Jane Birkin while traveling. She was using a straw bag as a handbag. When asked why she used a bag made of bast, the actress replied that conventional handbags were simply too small. Louis Dumas immediately began sketching a trapezoidal bag.
Exclusivity and Rarity in the Hermes Market
Investing in the Exclusive World of Hermès. A Hermès bag isn't just available around the corner. The producer determines who is even allowed to acquire one of these coveted handbags. The production is intentionally limited. Similar to a Rolex watch, buyers must accept waiting times of several years. To bypass these waiting times, customers often turn to the secondary market. Even bags with signs of use after several years still command prices of over 10,000 euros. This underscores the immense scarcity and high demand.

A Luxurious Investment Surpassing Traditional Assets The online portal "Welt" compared the price development of Birkin Bags to that of US stocks and gold, yielding a surprising result. These luxury handbags outperform traditional investments in terms of returns. The annual appreciation of Birkin Bags is 5% higher than that of stocks.
The Early History of the Birkin Bag
It’s difficult to believe now, but the public’s early response to the Birkin bag was underwhelming. Chanel bags dominated the market in the 80s, and the Jane Birkin bag didn’t change that. Hermès’ legendary quality and the meet-cute origin story didn't break through. It wasn’t until the 1990s that the bag inspired by It Girl Jane Birkin became the It Bag.
