Ultimately, a private collector from Japan won this historic bag. Sotheby's declined to disclose the original price of the bag at the time of its manufacture.

A symbol of luxury and timeless spirit Commenting on the event, Morgan Halimi, global head of handbags and accessories at Sotheby's, described the auction as "a significant event in fashion history," emphasizing that this price is a testament to the power of the Birkin legend and its ability to ignite the passion of collectors. She also considered the sale of the bag a celebration of the spirit of its muse, Jane Birkin, and her timeless appeal.

The rich history of a bag made especially for Jane Birkin The story of this bag dates back to 1985, when it was specially designed for British actress and singer Jane Birkin, who used it daily until 1994, after which it became a global symbol of luxury. Jane later sold the bag to support AIDS research, before it was transferred to international museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. It reappeared at this historic auction 25 years after its last public display.
