Description
The very first Hermes Birkin handbag is being auctioned at Sotheby's in Paris. This large black leather tote, the result of a 1984 encounter on a flight between singer Jane Birkin and the then-CEO of Hermès, has since become one of the most iconic and expensive handbags in the world. It is the centrepiece of the sale titled 'Fashion Icons'. IMAGES
