The Birkin bag is one of, if not the most iconic handbags to date. Introduced by French luxury brand Hermès alongside actress, singer, and British it girl Jane Birkin, it first came onto the scene back in 1984 and quickly became a luxury accessory staple amongst many celebs thanks to its timeless style and exclusive appeal.
