Luxurious and Rare - a Bag Worth 10 Million Dollars Conquered the World.

The Most Expensive Bag in the World Sold at Auction

This is not just a bag, but a true piece of fashion history. It has just been sold for an incredible 10 million dollars, becoming the most expensive accessory ever sold at auction. This iconic black Birkin once belonged to Jane Birkin - the French singer and actress after whom the most famous bag from Hermès was named.

This was reported by .

This is the first and only one. The one that started the myth about Birkin. Its size, metallic rings, unique hardware - all of this was never repeated in subsequent versions.

The specific example from Birkin, with scuffs, initials JB, and even silver nail clippers now has a new owner - a Japanese collector who beat eight competitors literally in just 10 minutes.

The Success Story of Birkin

Everything started in 1985 when Birkin was sitting on a plane next to the head of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas. She complained that she had nowhere to put her things. She simply took a bag and drew what the 'perfect bag' should look like. A few months later, she received her first Birkin, which quickly became a symbol of style, status, and desires of many generations of fashionistas. This same bag Jane wore every day for nearly ten years, and in 1994 she donated it to a charity auction to support the fight against AIDS. And now - a new twist in her story.

By the way, the previous record in the world of luxury accessories belonged to another Hermès - the Kelly model with diamonds. In 2021, it was sold for 513 thousand dollars. But this is trivial compared to the Birkin from Birkin herself.

Sold for 10 million dollars, the Birkin that once belonged to Jane Birkin has set a new record as the most expensive accessory sold at auction. This bag has become a symbol of style and sophistication, highlighting its uniqueness and value to collectors.
