Liberty plays host to the legendary 30 years of Hermès’ iconic Birkin bag.
The exhibition will feature some of the rarest and most vintage items from collectors like Catherine B to celebrate its anniversary, some of which will be the first timers in London.
Also, the first ever Birkin bag, created for Jane Birkin in 1984 by Jean-Louis Dumas of the Hermès family will be amongst the major high points of the exhibition. Besides, rare and unique items such as a mini black Kelly bag in lizard skin, an illustrated Birkin bag by the French artist Antoine Kruk and a special edition Kelly ‘doll’ bag from 1996 can be spotted.
Additionally selected Hermès pieces including a special edition alligator Kelly bag, a prairie green ‘collier de chien’ belt, red lambskin leather gloves and a ‘vache naturelle’ leather Birkin, will be available to purchase in the Liberty 2nd floor designer vintage department.
