In the status quo, it seems setting some ten thousand dollars bags on fire has emerged out to be the latest artistic indulgence. After Francesca Eastwood (who happens to be the daughter of Clint Eastwood) treated her red Hermes Birkin bag with a chain saw, it’s revealed that the brand itself loves to fan the fire.
The burning Birkin saga adds a new chapter to its tome after Emma Hill of Mulberry quipped in an interview with The Telegraph that Hermes disposes of any imperfect bags by burning them. She revealed that no one can touch Hermes bags in quality. A friend of her working at the French high fashion house said that if there was even the most minor imperfection on a bag they would take it out the back and burn it – no compromise.
