Liberty hosts Hermès Birkin exhibition

Liberty is exhibiting 30 years of Hermès’ iconic Birkin bag. The French
luxury house will be showing rare vintage styles to mark its anniversary
with pieces from Parisian collector Catherine B, some of which will be seen
in London for the first time.

On display will be 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. Also on display will be
the first ever Birkin bag, created for Jane Birkin in 1984 by Jean-Louis
Dumas of the Hermès family. Considered the Holy Grail by vintage Hermès
aficionados, in part thanks to the fact it was the only Birkin ever made
with a shoulder strap.

During the exhibition’s dates, selected Hermès pieces will be available to
purchase in the Liberty 2nd floor designer vintage department, including a
special edition alligator Kelly bag, a prairie green ‘collier de chien’
belt, red lambskin leather gloves and a ‘vache naturelle’ leather Birkin.
