"Milan, 10 August 2023 – Maxi theft in the warehouse of the Hermès store in via Montenapoleone in Milan: disappear 4 bags – including one Birkin Himalayas – for a value of 90 thousand euros. No signs of forced entry were found on the doors. The bags were in areas accessible only to personnel and they were stolen and replaced with others, always Hermès, but of lower value. The discovery happened last August 7, when during a check it emerged that the precious bags were missing and the complaint was filed by those responsible at the police station in via Moscova who are now investigating.
The Birkin is a bag made by Hermès artisans. A Birkin is forever because it is ennobled over time and acquires more and more value with each passing day.
The Hermes maison says that “this object among the most desired of the last few decades” was born in the air during a Paris-London flight. On board, the recently deceased English actress Jane Birkin is seated next to Jean-Louis Dumas, president of Hermès (1978-2006). The two start chatting and the actress complains about not being able to find a bag that fits his needs. “A born creative gifted with an infallible intuition – says the maison – Dumas immediately designs a capacious bag with a rectangular shape, soft and spacious, with a smooth profile and saddle stitching”. Just as the Hermes Kelly bag was inspired by Grace Kellythe Birkin therefore takes its name from Jane who with Serge Gainsbourg was certainly one of the most famous and transgressive couples of the jet set of the sixties.
Sold for dizzying figures, to have the famous it-bag, it is said, it is not enough to have the disposable income, some models are sold for the price of an apartment, but it helps lots of patience. You have to wait: the long waiting list because sales are sipped. A marketing strategy that makes this object even more exclusive, and therefore precious."
