How much could have been the probability thatelle be sitting, during his flight Paris-Londres, next to Jean-Louis Dumas, artistic director of Hermès?
Insatiable creator, he immediately imagined a tote bag rectangular, separated in the center by a canvas pouch surmounted by a piece of leather.
To suit the needs of a young mother of Jane Birkin, he even adds a location for the bottle…
The emblematic Birkin of the Hermès house was born.

Offered in smooth leatheror in grained leather, in natural or tropical shades, this renowned model has been available in many different forms.

The reason for its success ? The origin of its creation, its practicality, its clean lines, its sumptuous details, its multiple variations... Everything is done to make it timeless and give it its letters of nobility.

There birkinification or “Jane Birkinify” means this tendency resulting from Jane Birkin's desire to return her bag unique, in his image.
