While bags may come and go a Hermes Birkin Bag lasts forever. The bag was named after actress and singer Jane Birkin after meeting the then Hermes chairman Jean-Louis Dumas on an airplane in 1984. The story goes, Birkin was rummaging through her bag when items fell out. Dumas assisted her in picking up the dropped items suggesting she put the items in her bags pocket, to which she replied If Hermes put pockets in, I would. From that moment the Birkin Bag was born.
