Top 5 Most Expensive Hermès Bags Ever Sold Jane Birkin's Original Birkin Prototype $10.1 Million Dollars Originally created for Jane Birkin in 1984, the original Birkin prototype features several unique design elements never carried into commercial production, including a fixed shoulder strap, gilded brass hardware, and Jane Birkin's signature attached nail clippers. As the bag that inspired one of fashion's most iconic designs, it is considered one of the most significant handbags ever created.
