"The first in the world, made for Jane Birkin. It's the beginning," said Aurelie Vassy, outlining the significance of this iconic handbag that revolutionized luxury fashion.
"Three years earlier, Birkin had found herself sitting next to the chief executive of the luxury brand on a flight from Paris to London and had sketched the design on the back of a sick bag."
"This precious fashion icon, on loan from the collection of the pre-owned luxury dealer Catherine B, was one of the star exhibits at the opening of Sotheby's new salesroom in the Avenue Matignon district of Paris on Saturday."
