Birkin bag is the production of leather and clothing. Manufacturer Hermès launched a handbag in 1984. This package is named permanent residence in France, British singer Jane Birkin.

In 1981, Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas was seated next to Jane Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. She had just placed her straw bag in the overhead compartment of her seat, but the contents fell to the ground, leaving her to scramble to replace the contents. Birkin explained to Dumas that it had been difficult to find a leather weekend bag she liked. In 1984, he created a black supple leather bag for her based on an 1892 design. She used the bag for herself then later changed her mind. Nevertheless, the bag has since become an icon.
