Hermes Birkin - Jane Birkin, a model and actress was hoping to see her name on a marquee rather than a designer handbag. But, as chance would have it, in 1984, she found herself sitting next to Jean-Louis Duman, the president of Hermes, on an airplane. Their conversation led Duman to design a handbag that would suit the needs of a young woman and mother and the Birkin Bag was created! Handbag trends may come and go but no handbag has garnered quite as many lustful glances as the Hermes Crocodile Kelly Bag. Named in honor of Princess Grace Kelly of Monoco, the price of this Hermes handbag starts at $12,000 and can go for a cool $80,000 online. A Hermes Birkin handbag is still considered the top of the designer handbag industry to this day. The name Birkin is synonymous with style and grace. One would hardly think a handbag would cause as much controversy, as one did, during Martha Stewart's recent tainted stock court appearance. Martha showed up ready for a day in court with her Hermes Birkin handbag. Now former stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, is claiming that his trial was tainted because the jury was more interested in discussing Stewart's expensive Birkin bag.
