Birkin
Born from a chance meeting between Jane Birkin and Hermès chief Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight in 1984. Two rolled handles, a flap with sangles, a turn-lock and a clochette with padlock. It is the most famous handbag in the world — and deliberately hard to buy.诞生于 1984 年 Jane Birkin 与爱马仕总裁 Jean-Louis Dumas 在航班上的一次偶遇。双提手、带皮带的翻盖、转锁与挂锁钥匙套。它是世上最著名的手袋,也是刻意难买的一只。

How people actually get one: boutiques usually offer the Birkin to clients with a relationship and purchase history — there is no waitlist you can simply join. Most buyers in MY/SG go through trusted resellers and pay a premium over retail.现实中如何买到:专柜通常只把 Birkin 配给有长期关系和消费记录的客人,并没有可以直接排队的名单。马新多数买家通过可信的二手商购买,并支付高于专柜价的溢价。
