The first ever Birkin bag designed by Hermes for celebrity Jane Birkin has been sold for USD 10 million at a Sotheby's auction in Paris.
The original Birkin bag, named after the actor, singer and fashion icon that Hermès created it for — the late Jane Birkin — is up for auction in Paris.
The Paris fashion house exclusively commissioned the bag for the London-born star in 1984 — branding it with her initials J.B. on the front flap.
