The Birkin handbag is translated into Chinese as "Platinum Bag" , which perfectly reflects its noble status in the bag industry. This handbag was born in 1984 and was named after Jane Birkin , a British actress and European fashion icon in the 1960s .

In 1981, Jane Birkin met Jean-Louis Dumas, then CEO of Hermès, on a plane. When she was putting things into the overhead luggage compartment, she accidentally spilled the contents of her bag all over the floor. She complained to Dumas, who was sitting next to her, that she couldn't find a practical bag suitable for women. Dumas immediately took out a pen and paper to discuss with Birkin and sketched a bag.

Hermès took this encounter as inspiration and eventually designed the platinum bag named after Birkin. Since its launch in 1984, the Birkin bag has become a loyal fan of celebrities with its elegant appearance, sophisticated workmanship, practical attributes and scarcity, and is recognized as the most valuable classic bag .

The shape of the Birkin handbag is inspired by the Haut à courroies handbag , the ancestor of the Hermès family . Hermès, which started out as a horse harness brand, designed the HAC handbag in 1892. It was originally a bag used by riders to store saddles and riding boots. It was named "Haut" (tall) and equipped with "courroies" (straps).

The Birkin retains the iconic designs of the HAC handbag, such as the folding cover, straps, double handles, rotating buckle and padlock . The shape of the bag is shortened to a lighter trapezoidal structure, and the handles are extended for easy carrying on the wrist.

The Birkin Cargo 25 we are going to introduce this time is a new member launched in spring and summer 2021. It measures only 25×20×13 cm and is the smallest member of the Birkin family.

This bag has a flap pocket on the front, two slip pockets on each side, and a card compartment on the back. The workwear-style pockets not only make the bag full of casual atmosphere, but also add practical attributes. You can easily store lipsticks, keys, receipts and other small items.

The reason why Birkin is regarded as the "hard currency" in the bag industry is not only because of its classic and durable appearance, but also because of its durability. Each Birkin bag is made of top-quality flawless leather and is handmade by bag craftsmen with more than 5 years of experience . Each bag takes more than 40 hours to make . It is said that less than 12,000 Birkin bags enter the market worldwide each year .

Another major feature of the Hermès handbags is that they all use the "Saddle Stitch" method . This two-needle-one-thread technique has a history of more than 100 years. It cannot be achieved by machines and must be sewn by craftsmen stitch by stitch, maintaining precise spacing and strength. This sewing technique ensures that the bag remains reliable over time.

The bag uses black Swift calfskin to sew the edges and details, which not only serves as a reinforcement, but also makes the line structure of the bag tougher and clearer. The bottom is equipped with leather edging and metal feet to keep the bag upright and protect the bottom of the bag from wear.

The shiny metal clasp and padlock are the iconic elements of Hermès leather goods. After rotating the clasp, pass the straps on both sides to open the bag cover. The whole process is very ceremonial.

What can this bag hold?

The hard flap of the bag can be completely folded to the back, and the side can be extended and widened by the straps to facilitate the access to items. When it is usually carried on the wrist, the buckle can be in a naturally spread state, creating a casual and lazy temperament.

The original intention of the Birkin handbag was to provide Jane Birkin with a practical handbag with ample space. Even the smallest size 25 is fully capable of meeting daily commuting needs. We put an iPad Mini, a notebook, a glasses bag, a mobile phone, headphones, perfume, lipstick, and keys in the bag, and there is still half of the space for you to use.
