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. 
 
Birkin Bags: 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. 
 
Scarcity and Demand: 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. 
 
Luxury Without Limits: The Himalaya Kelly Bag 
Rare pieces from limited editions are often traded at auctions for six-figure sums. The Kelly Bag, named Himalaya, was auctioned at Christie's in Hong Kong for a record price of $200,198. The handbag is crafted from matte white Niloticus crocodile leather and features an 18-carat gold handle. 
 
Horseshoe (HSS) Bag - Exclusivity at Its Finest 
The Horseshoe Bag embodies an exceptional concept. Offered exclusively to the top 1% of Hermes' VIP customers, the Horseshoe Bag allows for individual customization in terms of color, leather type, hardware, interior, and stitching color. This high level of personalization makes each Horseshoe Bag unique and an extraordinary collector's item. 
 
Investing in the Timeless Elegance of Rose Sakura 
Driven by the elegance of the delicate sakura cherry blossoms adorning Japan's springs, rose sakura has firmly secured its place in the hearts of numerous Hermes enthusiasts as the most exquisite and gentle shade of pink ever created. This hue bears the distinction of being Hermes' second most beloved color. Over the years since 2014, the vast majority of items in this shade have seen price premiums of up to 26%. This trend underscores the enduring allure and investment potential in rose sakura products.

The price of €44,200 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €2,900. €41,300 can be allocated to the bag. 
Platform Fee Splint Invest:&nbsp;Compensation for the tokenization of the assets, the maintenance as well as the further development of the application and the costs related to the research and maintenance of the expert network.
