HermesOver the years, Hermès has designed some of the most famous handbags in the world. Two of the most famous types of Hermes handbags are the Kelly bag and the Birkin bag. The Hermès Kelly bag was designed by Hermès in Paris, France in the 1930s and was shortly thereafter sold in the US. Its fame has been enhanced by its popularity among famous female personalities worldwide, including its royal family namesake, Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco. In 1956 Grace Kelly appeared on the cover of Life Magazine with the Hermès using the famous handbag to cover her pregnant stomach. Suddenly there was a six month waiting list to get one, which is still the case in most Hermès stores in the United States. The Birkin bag was designed for actress Jane Birkin in the 1980's. While rummaging through her bag and complaining on an airplane, Ms. Birkin just happened to be sitting next to Jean-Louis Dumas, the Chairman of Hermes. The Birkin bag was born...... The wait for a special order Birkin can be up to six years, based on the type of leather or special skin requested. We will try to eliminate that problem for you.
