Included in this fresh product lineup, was the Haute-\u00e0-Courroies, known colloquially as the HAC. The original HAC was designed to carry a saddle and help transport equestrian equipment for the rider. This design remained largely unchanged before one fateful Air France flight in the early 1980s in which Jean-Louis Dumas and Jane Birkin happened to meet.<\/p>\n<p>This iconic style came to be after Jean-Louis Dumas, then head of Herm\u00e8s, had a chance encounter on a flight from London to Paris with the beguiling Jane Birkin, British fashion icon, model, and singer. According to the tale, Birkin was carrying a straw purse, and lamented that she couldn\u2019t find a leather handbag that fit her style and needs. This launched a collaborative effort between Dumas and Birkin to imagine a design that would fit the bill \u2014 and the Birkin bag was born. In 1984, the Herm\u00e8s Birkin bag was put into production, using the actress\u2019s name who inspired the design.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/vaulthermes-101-2-11.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Hermes Birkin 101 Jane Birkin%22&#8243; title_text=&#8221;Jane Birkin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;1300px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>The Popularity Of The Birkin<\/h2>\n<p>The Herm\u00e8s Birkin bag was an instant commercial success, however, Herm\u00e8s had an interesting marketing tactic that they are now notorious for using. Herm\u00e8s would artificially decrease the number of Birkin bags that a given store could buy. When store managers would go to Podium, the twice-yearly international Herm\u00e8s buying extravaganza in Paris, they would have a select number of Birkins they could buy for their stores depending on their client base and supply. This created the appearance of scarcity that Herm\u00e8s still implements. The number of Herm\u00e8s Birkin bags currently in retail and resale circulation is unfathomable. Herm\u00e8s does not report the production numbers to the public so there is not much insight into the secretive process. In 2014, it was reported by The Economist that an estimated 70,000 Birkin bags were created that year for global supply.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#fff596&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;5px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;183px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Original <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HAC<\/span> was designed to carry a saddle and<br \/>help transport equestrian equipment for the rider.<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#fff596&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;5px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;183px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.rebag.com\/thevault\/the-hermes-birkin-becomes-a-3-in-1\/&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>In the 1990s and early 2000s, rumors spread of a \u201cBirkin Waitlist\u201d, or a list at each boutique that prioritized clients in order of their requesting for a Birkin bag. The intention of the list was for clients to believe that when their name was next, they would receive the opportunity to purchase the must-have bag. Reports for many years have been that the store associates, when asked about the availability of the Birkin bag, would have one of two responses: 1) We do not have a Birkin in stock, or 2) Please put your name on this waitlist and we will call you when one becomes available. This waitlist was rumored to be anything from several months to three years long or more, which is quite the to-do surrounding any handbag or designer.<\/p>\n<p>However, the waitlist rumors began to fall apart when clients began to share and talk to one another about their Birkin buying experiences on various handbag forums and platforms. Buyers began to strategize how to attain one for themselves based on experienced sellers\u2019 know-how. Reports came in about having to buy a certain quantity of non-leather goods in order to qualify, having to build rapport with sales associates at a specific boutique to qualify, and even to dress in a \u201cdeserving\u201d outfit in order to get your hands on a Birkin bag. All of these rumors went up in smoke when clients began reporting that they simply walked in one day and got offered one upfront, no purchasing or previous Herm\u00e8s experience under their belt. How is this possible when there is more than likely a long waitlist at these stores? It seems likely that the Birkin waitlist was either purely fictional or perhaps a subtle technique that stores used to drum up anticipation and an aura of exclusivity. So, what\u2019s the best strategy to get your hands on one? Ask nicely and you may get lucky!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Birkin Becomes a 3-in-1<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herm\u00e8s unveiled <\/span>its newest Birkin, a 3-in-1, on its Fall\/Winter 2021 runway in March 2021.

It can be a tote, a pouch, or a tote and a pouch, ideal for the woman on the go who doesn\u2019t always need to carry a giant handbag around, or someone who may need a smaller clutch for evening occasions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The newest part of the Birkin consists of a pochette (French for pouch) with a flap that can either be attached to the bag and act as a compartment and a flap.

The central stripe pays homage to these tags and offers a reminder of these epic voyages.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/vault30334-01_Hermes_Flag_Birkin_Bag_Toile_and_Barenia_2D_0003_1024x1024.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Hermes 101 The Flag Birkin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;The Flag Birkin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; max_width=&#8221;60%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;3px||-5px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-sub-header\">The Fringe Birkin<\/h3>\n<p>As secretive and exclusive you can get with the Birkin bag, the Fringe Birkin was a limited edition run of Birkin bags, all created by client request (so they don the covetable Horseshoe Stamp), with a custom panel of leather fringe affixed to the front.

To make the first creation in the Birkin Touch line, Herm\u00e8s took the body of the bag fashioned out of Matte Vanille alligator and attached two Natural Sable Veau Butler leather handles to the top, creating a charming combination that looks incredibly special. Later, they began to play with this idea further, creating versions where the two rolled handles, flap, and the sangles were fashioned out of Matte or Shiny Crocodile or Alligator, and the body is done in recently introduced Novillo leather. This stunning bag has been on the top of many collectors\u2019 lists and is sure to be a top-ranked collectible in the future.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/vault39643-1_Hermes_Touch_Birkin_Handbag_Blue_Novillo_w_2D_0002_1024x1024.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Hermes 101 The Touch Birkin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;The Touch Birkin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; max_width=&#8221;60%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;3px||-5px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-sub-header\">One Two Three and Away We Go Birkin<\/h3>\n<p>In 2018, Herm\u00e8s partnered with British artist Nigel Peake and created a Birkin design that is replete with color and pattern.

Herm\u00e8s even created only a small handful of the Diamond Birkin in White Himalayan Niloticus Crocodile, one 30cm version of which went on to be the most expensive handbag ever sold on the secondary market, at around $380,000 USD.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/vaulthermes-101-2-diamond-birkin-red.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Hermes 101 The Diamond Birkin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;The Diamond Birkin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Courtesy of Heritage Auctions<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/vaulthermes-101-2-hymalayan-birkin.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Hermes 101 The Diamond Birkin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;The Diamond Birkin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Courtesy of Christie&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">The Birkin may come in all shapes, colors, patterns, and materials, which makes for a seemingly personalized handbag that feels as though it was designed just for you.
