The original Birkin bag, which laid the foundations of what is possibly the most coveted accessory in the history of fashion, sold this Thursday for 8.6 million euros (US $ 10.1 million), which became the most expensive bag ever sold in an auction.

The black leather bag was made for singer Jane Birkin in 1985, after her belongings were spread while sitting during a flight next to the luxurious fashion house Hermès.

She asked him why they did not make larger bags and he outlined the design of a new more practical, but equally desirable article, in the paper bag for the dizziness of the plane.

The prototype that created was sold this Thursday to a Japanese private collector at a Sotheby's auction in Paris for a price that far exceeded the previous record of 439,000 euros (US $ 513,000 dollars).
