Questions About Vintage Design Bag
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024
    Jean-Louis Dumas and Jane Birkin designed the Birkin bag. The history of the Birkin owes to a chance meeting on a flight from Paris to London in 1981, when British actress, singer and model Jane Birkin found herself describing her ideal handbag to another passenger. The two travelers hadn’t properly met, so it wasn’t immediately clear that she was practically brainstorming a future product with Hermès chairman Jean-Louis Dumas. When the latter identified himself, he told the star that Hermès was prepared to produce the accessory of her dreams. The Birkin was introduced three years later. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Hermès Birkin bags.

    Several telltale signs allow you to authenticate a vintage Prada bag. Look at the logo for consistency — the Prada logo has a distinctive font, particularly the notch taken out of the “R."
