The namesake of French actress and fashion icon Jane Birkin, the Birkin tote was introduced in 1984 by French luxury label Hermès. These bags are considered some of the rarest bags in the world, with the exponential pricing and the long waiting lists. A Birkin is a symbol of wealth, handmade from leather resold frequently.
One fine day in 1983, Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas was seated next to Jane Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. She dropped her straw basket bag, the contents spilling all over the floor, and complained how she couldn't find a leather weekend bag that she liked. And hence, the Birkin was born, designed especially for the actress. More like this…

Dubai's beloved Gigi Rigolatto is opening in Bodrum this summer
Summer in Bodrum, the Gigi way… After winning hearts in Dubai, Paris and Saint-Tropez, Gigi Rigolatto is packing up its signature style and heading to the Aegean. Landing at the Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum this June, this new summer pop-up brings everything we love about Gigi – long, leisurely lunches, golden hour drinks, and that laid-back energy – to Turkey's most glamorous coastline. This is the same signature feel, now with Turkish Riviera views. It's a seasonal opening for now, with plans for a permanent home at the resort in 2026. If you're in Bodrum this summer, Gigi at Mandarin Oriental is a spot worth visiting. Here's what you can expect. The setting Picture this: an outdoor terrace with 140 seats and sea views that basically scream summer chill. Gigi fits perfectly right into Mandarin Oriental's relaxed luxury, It's tucked into the gardens of the hotel, right next to a private beach. What's on the table Everyone's favourite: Rich Italian cuisine. Perfect for long, lazy afternoons. The Bellini Bar is a vibe The Bellini is the star. And the bar is where Gigi's energy lives, the heartbeat of the space – somewhere between aperitivo hour and full-blown dance floor. The boutique There's a store on-site with Gigi's usual edit – beachwear, accessories, beauty, and design pieces that mirror Gigi's taste. It's relaxed, and feels more like a summer apartment than a retail space. The design Franco-Mexican architect Hugo Toro shaped each Gigi location as a personal space, inspired by Italy's rich history. The design follows refined Italian principles, quietly mixing in French lifestyle touches. While every restaurant shares core elements, the look adapts thoughtfully to its setting.

Faizan Zaki, 13, crowned US National Spelling Bee champion
Faizan Zaki, a 13-year-old boy from the Dallas area, won the 97th Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday, swiftly nailing the French-derived word "eclaircissement," synonymous with enlightenment, in the 21st round of the contest finals. He edged out 14-year-old Sarvadnya Kadam, from Visalia, California, who finished in second place after misspelling "Uaupes," a tributary of the Rio Negro in South America, in the 20th round. Zaki, who was last year's runner-up, had correctly spelled "Chaldee," a dialect of the Biblical Aramaic language, in the 20th round. But under spelling bee rules, Zaki needed to land one more word in a solo round to claim the trophy. He did so in round 21 by instantly and precisely spelling "eclaircissement" - defined as a clearing up of something obscure. He surprised the audience by giving his answer without taking the customary pause afforded contestants to ask the judges for more information about the word's origins, meaning and pronunciation. He was crowned champion in a hail of confetti before being joined on stage by his parents and other relatives, and will receive $50,000 in prize money. Asked what he would do next, Zaki replied, "I'm probably going to stay up the entire night or something." Zaki, a resident of Allen, Texas, had nearly been eliminated in round 18 when he rushed, and stumbled over, the spelling of "commelina," a genus for some 200 species of dayflowers. But his two fellow finalists at that point, including Kadam, likewise fumbled their words, leading to a 19th round in which all three boys returned, but only two - Zaki and Kadam - survived to face off in the decisive 20th round. Sarv Dharavane, an 11-year-old boy from Tucker, Georgia, finished in third place after misspelling "eserine," the antidote of choice for many poisons, with one "s" too many. Thursday's total roster of nine finalists emerged from three days of competition at a convention center outside Washington DC, among 243 contestants aged eight to 14 who advanced from regional competitions across the country. Challenged with some of the most difficult and least-used words that English has to offer, many young competitors amazed spectators with their ability to produce the correct spellings with poise and precision. The Scripps media group has sponsored the event since 1925, with three years off during World War II and one more for the COVID pandemic in 2020. Most competitors were from the United States, coming from all 50 states. Other spellers came from Canada, the Bahamas, Germany, Ghana, Kuwait, Nigeria, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
