Icon-Icon Opinion :

“I was on a plane from London to Paris in the 1980s and I was sitting, unknowingly, next to Jean-Louis Dumas, the president of Hermès. My Hermès schedule was so full that everything fell through. He told me that I had better put my personal belongings in closed pockets. I said, ‘If Hermes would put pockets…’ he said, ‘I am Mr. Hermes and I will put pockets for you. A month later, he sent me a bag and asked me if he could call it the Birkin.” Jean-Louis Dumas thus designed a bag that is now worth more than gold!

Description : Who could have imagined that one of the most coveted objects of the last decades would be born in the sky, in 1984, during a trip from Paris to London? The English actress Jane Birkin, seated next to Jean-Louis Dumas, manager of Hermès (1978-2006), lamented the fact that she could not find a tote bag adapted to her needs as a young mother.
