Who would have thought the most exclusive bag in the world began with a sketch on an Air France sick bag? During a chance encounter in 1983, Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas, inspired by Jane Birkin’s overflowing handbag, quickly sketched the design during their flight. From this spontaneous creation, the Birkin has risen to legendary status, evolving from a practical solution into a symbol of luxury and enduring craftsmanship.
The younger sibling to the iconic Kelly, the Birkin appeals with its more laid-back design, drawing inspiration from the Haut à Courroies (HAC) — a saddle bag originally crafted to carry riding gear.

The Hermès Birkins legacy endures with its expanded range of sizes, styles, fabrications, and limited edition iterations. Available in four standard sizes — Birkin 25, Birkin 30, Birkin 35, and Birkin 40 — the bag caters to various tastes and needs. For those who crave even more compact sizes, Hermès introduced the highly coveted Birkin 20 in 2023.
