An iconic Hermès handbag originally crafted for actress and style legend Jane Birkin in 1984 has just shattered auction records, selling for an astonishing €7 million (approximately $8.18 million).
Including fees, the anonymous buyer paid a jaw-dropping €8.58 million (roughly $10 million), officially making it the most expensive handbag ever sold at auction.
This record-breaking sale now surpasses the previous benchmark set in 2022, when a Himalaya Crocodile Birkin fetched $450,000. The extraordinary value reflects both the rarity of the piece and Birkin’s enduring influence on global fashion.
