The Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags are among the most sought-after fashion accessories in the world, and for many good reasons…
The Hermès Kelly bag is named after actress Grace Kelly, former Princess of Monaco, and is one of the greatest bags of all time. Its origins first appeared in the 1930’s, but the bag only truly became a star in 1956 when Grace Kelly used one to shield her pregnant stomach from the prying eyes of the paparazzi.

The slightly more casual Hermès Birkin bag was created for the iconic singer and actress, Jane Birkin. Its inception in 1984 is shrouded with various myths.
Each of these marvellous bags are handmade from start to finish by one master craftsman. Only the finest materials are used. Prices for these amazing bags begin at around $7,000 and can go well beyond $50,000. Famous for their waiting lists, even the wealthiest women must wait for one of these exquisitely stitched bags. One will never find an authentic Hermès Kelly or Birkin bag online.
