Birkin Bags

Bags from the fashion house Hermes - the object of desire of many social ladies and ordinary women of fashion who like beautiful and comfortable things.

Unlike many famous designers, these bags are surrounded by legends and interesting stories that can be believed as beautiful fairy tales or treated with absolute seriousness: one way or another, but these luxury accessories are elegant, comfortable, and most importantly - difficult to achieve. The fact is that to get one of these bags, it's not enough to pay money: you need to wait (sometimes more than 2 years), because it takes a lot of time for designers to manufacture them, and there are a lot of people who want to have such a thing.

Among all models, Birkin bags from Hermes deserve special attention: the history of their appearance is surrounded by legends, and today there is a great demand among them among certain social strata. An important role in this played the stars: the resourceful owners of the fashion house realized early enough that the best advertisement is the one that celebrities do, because people want to imitate them. So it happened with bags Birkin: for example, today Victoria Beckham has about 40 such handbags, and the creation of the model is attributed to the famous singer, actress and simply secular character of the 80s - Jane Birkin.

A variety of women's bags from Hermes

Models of Hermes bags are diverse, but they are united by a style: strict and elegant. Here we will not find an abundance of decor: colored stones, inserts, chains - all this Hermes left to implement the ideas of other fashion houses. Laconic style, solid color, several straps and soft natural leather - the only decoration of these bags.

Bags Hermes Birkin

Birkin bags are Hermes bags, but Birkin as a bag model has become so popular and so stands out with its creation history and way of selling that it is singled out as a separate brand. On the one hand, it is so, however, if you look at it from the other side, then there is no officially separate brand "Birkin".

Bag Birkin has a beautiful face. It is elegant, designed for socks in the hand, and ample room due to the trapezoid shape.

The history of the Birkin bag

Women's Birkin bags are named after actress Jane Birkin. It is said that the idea of ​​creating a bag appeared on the plane when, by a lucky chance, Jane's seat was next to the place of the chairman of the board of Hermes Jean-Louis Dumas. The girl told Jean-Louis about the problem of choosing a bag: a lot of beautiful models, but uncomfortable, and then the chairman promised Jane to make it for her a bag with which she will never part. And it turned out: the bag was created, and it was distinguished not only by the external aesthetics, but also by the quality and comfort that Jane lacked in other bags. Naturally, this universal model was named after the singer, who inspired the creator.

How much does the Birkin bag cost?

The Birkin bag from Hermes costs $ 7,500, excluding sales taxes. If it is made from the skin of exotic animals, its price can go up to six digits. The main pricing factor is the material from which the bag is made, and the more expensive the leather, the higher the price of the product.

Despite the fact that today in the world of products made of genuine leather, and even more so from the skin of exotic animals, receive ambiguous assessments, and opponents of products made of natural fur and leather more and more, the company Hermes does not abandon its principle and creates only leather accessories.
