Jane Birkin (Left) and Lou Doillon

Birkin Blog Says | The Birkin Bag Baby

Many know the story behind the Birkin Bags. Jane wanted to have a bag that made her travel easier with her baby. But do you know who the baby is?

She is Lou Doillon (born September 4, 1982 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) who is now a French model and actress. Her father is director Jacques Doillon and her mother is actress Jane Birkin.

On her mother's side she is the half-sister of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kate Barry, and of Lola Doillon and Lily on her father's side.

At the age of nine, her appearance was distinctive, with Indian leggings under short dresses, worn with Grateful Dead T-shirts and rollerblades, and long dreadlocks. By the time she was 11½, she had tattoos and a stud in her tongue.

She gave birth to her first child, a son Marlowe Jack Tiger Mitchell, in 2002. She parted company with his father, musician Thomas-John Mitchell, less than a year later and went to New York.
