An original Hermès Birkin bag once used by the late British singer and actress Jane Birkin has sold for approximately 130 million KRW (around 137 billion KRW) at a Sotheby's auction in Paris, marking the highest price ever achieved for a handbag auction. Created in collaboration with Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas in 1985, the black Birkin bag was unique to Jane Birkin, who contributed to its design. After initially being sold in 1994 to raise funds for an AIDS charity, the bag was auctioned again in 2000 and has been held by a collector known as 'Catherine B.'
