• Birkin 30 in Rouge Vif Ostrich Leather with Gold Hardware. Hermès, 2016.
  Estimate: £8,000-10,000

  The legend began in 1983 when the Hermès chief executive saw Jane Birkin struggle with her straw bag on an aeroplane. He designed a more robust handbag for her and now these leather weekend bags are not only practical but a modern status symbol.
  
  With a fantastic array of colours and the finest leathers – such as ostrich with its unmistakable bump pattern – Birkin remains an iconic handbag, designed with beauty and utility in mind.
