Birkin 30 Barenia Faubourg with silver hardware

Hermes Birkin 30 Barenia Faubourg silver buckle is one of Hermès' most iconic handbags. The Birkin bag is named after the British actress and singer Jane Birkin. This historic handbag appeared after an accidental flight from Paris to London in 1983. It is said that Jane Birkin met Jean-Louis Dumas, the CEO of Hermes, on the plane. Birkin had just put the straw travel bag on the luggage rack above the seat, and the contents accidentally scattered on the deck, asking her to scramble to pack them. Birkin explained to Dumas that it is difficult to find a leather weekend bag that she likes. A year later, a handbag designed specifically for her in line with Birkin's description came to Jane Birkin and created a global trend. Due to its high price and a long waiting list, it quickly became a symbol of wealth and exclusivity. Every Birkin handbag is handmade from leather. It is a popular item among collectors and is regarded as one of the rarest handbags in the world.
