Jane Birkin是一名才華橫溢的英國女藝人。作為法式型格代言人的她身兼多職，除了是一個唱作歌手之外同時還是一名演員和模特兒。在7月20日，Jane Birkin本人的一款Birkin包將會在騎士橋「品牌手袋及時尚」拍賣會上發售。
Jane Birkin – British singer, songwriter, actress, and model is a well-known French chic fashion icon. On 20 July, one of Birkin’s own Birkin bags will be on sale at Bonhams Designer Handbags and Fashion sale in Bonhams Knightsbridge.
愛馬仕“Birkin”系列的靈感來源於一個有趣的背景故事。在1984年的某天，愛馬仕時任行政總裁Jean-Louis Dumas在一次飛行途中恰好坐在Birkin旁邊。Birkin跟Dumas抱怨當時市場的包包都太小，沒有一個能夠容納她女兒Lou的奶瓶。Dumas聽完之後便立刻以飛機的衛生紙袋為她設計了一個更深且柔軟的手袋，完美滿足了她的需求。 這便是愛馬仕“Birkin”系列的由來。
Birkin is also famous for being the inspiration for the adoring Hermès “Birkin” collection which has an interesting backstory. In the year 1984, the Head of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, just happened to sit next to Jane Birkin on a flight. Birkin complained about the size of general bags in the market, that none was large enough to carry her daughter Lou’s bottles. Dumas answered her needs by designing her a deep holdall with soft fabric on the back of an Air France sick bag. This marks the origin of the massive Hermès “Birkin”.
邦瀚斯品牌手袋及時尚部主管Meg Randell指出：「Jane Birkin是法國魅力與型格的代表，而愛馬仕柏金包更長居精品界的終極殿堂。此次能夠呈獻『Birkin本人的Birkin袋』，實在別具意義。眾所周知，她的手袋都實實在在地用於日常，並大膽地增添個人色彩，成為一種名符其實屬於自己的時尚配搭；此品亦不例外，處處可見使用的痕跡：如手挽綁上的紅繩，甚至是家貓的齒痕等，無不增添其獨一無二的質感。」
“Jane Birkin is synonymous with the ultimate in French cool and chic style, and the Hermès “Birkin” is the ultimate luxury accessory – so to be able to offer Birkin’s Birkin is incredibly exciting. Jane was known for really using her bags and customising them to make her namesake accessory her own. This bag shows wonderful signs of use by Birkin, such as the red cord tied around one of the handles, and bite marks from Birkin’s cat on the handle.”, said Meg Randell, Head of Bonhams Designer Handbags & Fashion department.
