“Not without my Birkin Bag” is Michalsky’s motto. Oversized and orange, his most trusted companion glows by his side.
“I carry my life in there, and it also doubles as my portable office,” praises the designer. He has an annoyed actress to thank for his roomy treasure chest: in 1984, Jane Birkin was plagued with a space issue on her flight from New York to Paris. After forever searching deeply in her fully packed Bast bag, the actress poured everything out onto her neighbor’s lap. This just happened to be Hermés chairman of the board, Jean Louis Dumas. After the initial shock passed, the idea for a roomier creation was born. Through an appearance on “Sex and the City”, the bag now qualifies as one the most desired fashion articles in the world. Depending on the design, prices range from $5,000 to $50,000. You need to have both money and patience for this bag, a new order for a handcrafted bag can take up to a few years to be delivered.
