The story behind the Birkin
Originated in 1984 from a conversation between Jane Birkin and Hermès Executive Chairman Jean-Louis Dumas; its structural lineage traces to the Haut à Courroies. Familiar sizes are 25, 30, 35 and 40 cm, alongside miniature, shoulder and travel versions, in both Retourné and Sellier construction.
Discover Hermès Birkin BagsJay Ahr’s passion for textiles continues with the intricately embroidered Bandana series. From the Sanskrit word for ‘a bond’, the bandana is inspired by the colorful Indian kerchiefs. However, the bandana stands as a symbol of multiculturalism, truly personal to each group it represents, whether gangs in LA, cowboys in the Midwest, or banditos in Mexico. It has been adopted and translated, imprinted with new meaning with the passing of time.
The Bandana series, inspired by the colorful Indian kerchiefs, explores both nuanced repetition as well as identity. Although the Bandana is found all over the world, it usually serves to identify a very specific tribe, be it gangs in LA, banditos in Mexico, or young students at Le Lycée.
