8.500.000 euro….. for a bag
Sold today via Sotheby’s
The first ever Hermes Birkin, so the one made for Jane Birkin
One of the most iconic designs and being the prototype was a good reason to fetch a crazy price , but nevertheless 8.5 million is pretty crazy
I know this has nothing to do with watches but if there is one thing they do have in common….
Both bags and watches offer a mix of emotional, cultural, and financial value but watches tend to appeal more to logic and engineering-minded collectors, while bags draw in those who value narrative, fashion history, and visual impact. In both cases, the rarest and most storied items—the prototype Birkin or Paul Newman’s Daytona—become more than luxury goods. They become icons.

Yeah, unfortunately she has to live with watch nerd and have no choice but apply lingo to sustain conversations. She also is a Nomos fan and calls Nato Bento strap.
That’s me wearing her Nomos on grey Bento 😀 She owns several Bentos and changes them regularly to meet outfit. Hope she does not read this , lol ! ...
Not madness at all, as it is cheap=currency. Soon, tri££ion$ more are coming just from the States and UK.
Have a strange suspicion that humans think bank currency has actual intrinsic value. ROFLOL!
Currency is cheap, there's only one original Birkin... or baseball card, or painting....
Gentlemen, great wealth is in many places.
Not any more stupid than the PN Daytona, as others have implied
And the PN Daytona's price was massively stupid IMO JB
welcome to the 1% world
rest 99% can never understand their world. don't bother to apply our logic or sense to their world 😅
Its indeed a bit crazy but i also understand because for those who collect these kind of bags it can be a true icon and a important piece. 🤷🏻♂️
After all we all have a loose screw in our head when we follow our passion 😜
8.5M for a bag! Seems like a good deal. My buddy paid over twice that in his divorce and this bag looks to be in way better condition.
Ex-wife had a collection of bags. Went with her.
