After all, when two icons of chic dream up the perfect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/\">handbag<\/a>, we shouldn\u2019t be surprised that the result is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/iconic-handbags\/\">another icon<\/a>. Such was the case when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/hermes\/fashion\/\">Herm\u00e8s<\/a> chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas and the actress and chanteuse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/jane-birkin\/\">Jane Birkin<\/a> met on that legendary 1981 flight and together conceived her namesake bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/designs\/hermes-birkin-bag\/\">Herm\u00e8s Birkin bag<\/a> has become an icon, no doubt about it. But it has also become something more surprising: a better investment than a painting by an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/style\/impressionist\/\">Impressionist<\/a> master. How did that happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Birkin first became available, in 1984, the cost of a basic model was approximately $2,000, and it has since <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/birkin-bags-double-value-5-195755262.html\">increased 500 percent<\/a>. Truth is, however, it\u2019s a stretch to call any Birkin \u201cbasic.&#8221; Each is handmade by a single expert craftsperson. Price varies with size, hardware, color and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/hermes-birkin-bag-leathers\/\">type of leather<\/a>. A limited assortment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/hermes-birkin\/\">leathers and colors<\/a> is released each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full-width\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/birkin-30\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BeFunky-collage-1-1600x711.jpg\" alt=\"An assortment Herm\u00e8s Birkin bags \u2014 a limited-edition Birkin 30 bag in emerald green crocodile, a Birkin 30 bag in Parchemin ostrich and a Birkin 30 Touch bag in Jaune Ambre crocodile\" class=\"wp-image-342231\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/tote-bags\/hermes-birkin-30-bag-limited-edition-patchwork-emerald-green-crocodile\/id-v_3930593\/\">Herm\u00e8s limited-edition Birkin 30 bag in emerald green crocodile<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/top-handle-bags\/hermes-birkin-30-bag-parchemin-gold-hardware-perfect-year-round-neutral\/id-v_7379242\/\">Birkin 30 bag in Parchemin ostrich<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/tote-bags\/hermes-birkin-30-bag-jaune-ambre-touch-crocodile-togo-palladium-hardware\/id-v_7202951\/\">Birkin 30 Touch bag in Jaune Ambre crocodile<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The rarity of certain materials and hues is reflected in resale pricing: In 2019, \u201cVegas Dave\u201d Oancea paid a record-breaking $500,000 for a 35cm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/himalayan-crocodile-birkin\/\">Niloticus crocodile Himalaya<\/a> with 18-carat white-gold and diamond hardware.

The lock alone was worth $80,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Birkin\u2019s value has consistently risen and never fluctuated downward,\u201d says Reece Morgan, head of handbags and accessories for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/xupes-limited\/\">Xupes<\/a>, citing the fact that \u201cproduction has been highly limited to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/counterfeit-hermes-birkin-bag\/\">maintain its unattainable aura<\/a>.\u201d In fact, he adds, Herm\u00e8s has been \u201cscaling back production each year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of men buy their first bag from me,\u201d says Debra Kent, of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/mightychic\/\">mightychic<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve always told them that after this bag, there\u2019s no turning back. The next step is you\u2019re going to walk into a room with your wife or your girlfriend, and she\u2019s going to be carrying the bag. Every woman in that room is going to want you and every man in the room is going to hate you.\u201d In short, says Kirk, the Birkin \u201cis the ultimate status symbol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/mixed-media\/nelson-de-la-nuez-nelson-de-la-nuez-its-birkin\/id-a_4744332\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master-950x950.jpg\" alt=\"Nelson De La Nuez, It's A Birkin!, 2018, by Nelson De La Nuez\" class=\"wp-image-342205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master-933x933.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master-216x216.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BirkinDibs_master.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/mixed-media\/nelson-de-la-nuez-nelson-de-la-nuez-its-birkin\/id-a_4744332\/\"><em>It&#8217;s a Birkin!<\/em>, 2018, by Nelson De La Nuez<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That wasn\u2019t always so. The Birkin began to arouse mass consciousness <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/hermes-birkin-bag-anniversary\/\">(and desire) in the late 1990s<\/a>, with the advent of the \u201cIt bag.\u201d And nothing was the same after it made its prime-time debut on <em>Sex in the City<\/em>, in 2002. \u201cOh, honey, it\u2019s not so much the style,\u201d Samantha cooed to Carrie as they ogled a Birkin in the window of Herm\u00e8s, \u201cit\u2019s what carrying it means.\u201d Approximately 5.9 million viewers watched that week; it\u2019s possible to imagine \u201cBIRKIN!\u201d suddenly scribbled on nearly as many wish lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a storied product,\u201d says Milton Pedraza, CEO of the Luxury Institute. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes it a great investment.\u201d Pedraza considers Herm\u00e8s \u201cthe pinnacle of luxury\u201d and credits the house with excellent stewardship of the design. \u201cIt\u2019s a classic case study in how to manage luxury \u2014 be meticulous in what you create, and manage the supply.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knightfrank.com\/wealthreport\/article\/2020-03-03-the-luxury-investment-index-2020-discover-the-worlds-mostcoveted-items\">study of luxury investments in 2019<\/a> found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/expensive-purse-brands\/\">handbags<\/a> had the highest returns \u2014 and the Birkin had the highest of the high. Birkin prices increased 13 percent over the course of the year; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/\">art<\/a>, meanwhile, rose 5 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxhabitat.ae\/the-journal\/top-10-most-expensive-handbags-in-the-world\/\">on a recent list<\/a> of the 10 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/expensive-purse-brands\/\">most expensive handbags<\/a>, seven are Birkins, including an Exceptional Collection Shiny Rouge H <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/birkin-porosus-crocodile\/\">Porosus Crocodile Birkin<\/a> and a fuchsia Porosus crocodile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/diamond-birkin\/\">diamond-studded Birkin<\/a>, which sold at auction, respectively, for $203,150 and $222,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contemplating an investment in a Birkin? Consider color: New and seasonal ones are often in great demand; some recent hues include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/rouge-de-coeur-birkin\/\">Rouge De Coeur<\/a> (2019), Blue Azure (2018) and Toffee (2017). And look for rare materials \u2014 exotics such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/lizard-birkin\/\">lizard<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/hermes-birkin-ostrich-bags\/\">ostrich<\/a> and Porosus and Niloticus crocodile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a Birkin has more going for it than its good looks. The brand itself helps to sustain sales, even through difficult times. \u201cHerm\u00e8s has a wonderful history of good purpose and good values,\u201d says Pedraza, adding that the brand \u201cwill be valued even more after the pandemic. Herm\u00e8s will definitely be one of those that will stand tall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"955\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/9277242_master-955x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"Hermes Birkin Bag\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/hermes-birkin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Herm\u00e8s Birkin Bags\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/hermes-birkin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps it was destiny.
