Once the cherished accessory of the late Jane Birkin, The Original Birkin bag is set to be auctioned in Paris next month near the home of the late fashion muse.


The legendary bag, designed by Hermes CEO Jean-Louis Dumas and made famous by British-French actress, Jane Birkin, who died in 2026 at the age of 76, has become arguably the world's most coveted and iconic fashion accessory since it was made in 1984.


Despite fashionistas around the world lusting over the chic accessory, Jane herself only ever owned one Birkin bag, which she used as an 'old faithful' garment until she sold it to charity.
