Later this year, Sotheby’s is set to auction Jane Birkin’s original prototype Birkin bag, crafted in 1984 following her iconic flight with Jean‑Louis Dumas. This unique “first ever" Birkin includes distinct features such as a fixed strap, gold plated hardware, and her “J.B.” initials, offering unmatched provenance, cultural significance, and narrative.
It is anticipated to rival record setting sales like the Himalaya Birkin, which fetched US $377,000 in 2017. The buzz around this auction is not just fashion, it is history going under the hammer.
Why Invest in a Birkin?
- Proven Asset Appreciation: Since 1984, Birkin bags have appreciated roughly 14.2% annually,
- Scarcity And Craftsmanship: With only around 70,000 produced annually, each bag takes over 18 hours to handcraft in France
- Resale Strength: Preloved Birkins commonly retain 80–120% of their retail value, depending on condition
- Cultural Icon Status: Embodying luxury, exclusivity, and heritage, they are wearable investments.
