The now-iconic handbag was created by Hermès for the actor-singer in 1984 after she sat next to the company's CEO on a flight.

For reference, the starting price for the smallest Birkin bag that is brand new is $12,700 at Hermès boutiques in the United States following newly imposed tariffs, so you can imagine how much a one-of-a-kind piece such as this could fetch given how much demand there has always been for this style.

The Birkin bag’s origin story comes from a conversation between Birkin and then-Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight. Birkin complained that she could not find a bag big enough to fit all the things she needed throughout the day, and the two began to sketch out ideas on a sick bag on the plane.
