The bag\u2019s status was immortalised in 2002 when Herm\u00e8s <span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">&amp; Birkin bags were featured on an episode of Sex and The City. After the episode was released, the Birkin bag waitlist tripled!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The episode follows Samantha as she tries every trick in the book to try secure a Birkin from Herm\u00e8s.<\/p>\n<p>It begins with Carrie and Samantha drooling over a Birkin:<br \/>\nCarrie: <em>\u201cThe Birkin bag? Really? That\u2019s not even your style\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nSamantha: <em>\u201cOh honey it\u2019s not so much the style, it\u2019s what carrying it means\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nCarrie: <em>\u201cIt means you\u2019re out four thousand bucks\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nSamantha: <em>\u201cExactly.

She is rejected when she tries to walk in and buy the Birkin, she is left startled by the waitlist.<\/p>\n<p>Samantha pretends that the bag is for Lucy Liu to skip the waitlist, but it doesn&#8217;t all go according to her plan and she loses her celeb client and the iconic Birkin.<\/p>\n<p>Back when the episode was aired Birkin bagss did retail for around $4,000 USD, and if Samantha has managed to\u00a0secure\u00a0the bag, it would be worth more than double that today!<\/p>\n<h2>Birkin Bags Have An Extremely Limited Supply<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48472\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/GettyImages-954481152.jpeg\" alt=\"Hermes Birkin - Limited Supply\" width=\"4104\" height=\"2736\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are no more than 200,000 Birkin bags in circulation at any point in time.

The origin story of the Birkin bag says that the bag was inspired by and created for Jane Birkin, by the CEO of Herm\u00e8s in 1981 after he sat next to Jane Birkin on an airplane. He witnessed all of her belongings fall out of her handbag. So he offered to create a new handbag for her that could hold all her goodies safely without a hassle, together they sketched her ideal design on the back on an airplane sick bag.<\/p>\n<h2>The Orange Box Is An Accidental Icon<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48477\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/main-lucile-andreani-2017.jpg\" alt=\"Hermes Birkin And Box\" width=\"1765\" height=\"1103\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the Herm\u00e8s handbag fanatics, there is nothing better than the sight of the iconic bright orange box. Believe it or not bag-lovers, it was only after World War II when Herm\u00e8s experienced a shortage of the materials used to make the original cream-colored boxes that they decided to switch to using the orange box. So essentially, the legendary orange boxes that won a packaging Oscar in 1994, were technically an accident! It is our designer dream to collect all 188 sizes.<\/p>\n<h2>Birkin Bags Are Named\u00a0By Size, Colour and Material<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48480\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hermes-Birkin-35-Handbag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Birkin bags are named using a format which describes the details of the bag.
