Since Carry has worn in the series "Sex and the City" a Birkin bag it has become world famous.

The hand-made Birkin bag is very difficult to find (about 2 years waiting time) and the price is depending on the model about 2.200-22.000 EUR.

The custom-made Birkin bag is particularly spacious – corresponding to the motto of the designer "Therein I store my whole life".

In 1984 the handbag was invented by the British actress and singer Jane Birkin during a flight from New York to Paris when she could not find anything in her bag and dumped the entire content on the lap of the seatmate – no one other than Hermès CEO Jean Louis Dumas .
