An Icon Born from an Encounter
The Hermès Birkin bag was born in 1984 from a chance encounter between Jane Birkin, the British actress and singer, and Jean-Louis Dumas, then CEO of Hermès. During a flight from Paris to London, Jane Birkin explained that she couldn't find a bag practical and elegant enough for her everyday life. Inspired, Hermès created a model combining refinement, craftsmanship, and functionality. Thus was born one of the most coveted bags in the world.
