Handbags at dawn: It was obvious I was not the typical Chanel customer
The most expensive handbag I've ever bought was Chanel . It wasn't even for me. It was a 40th birthday/thank-you-for-being-great present for my best friend, and an item she'd been coveting for as long as I've known her. The purchase came after a brief whirlwind education in the world of Chanel. I'd set my sights initially on the classic black leather flap handbag, as I knew this was the true object of my friend's affection. However, when I set about doing some internet searches I was swiftly put in my place. The classic flap would set me back about €8,000, plus I'd need to be on a waiting list. It truly felt like those snotty cows from the swanky shop in Pretty Woman had reached out of my ageing MacBook and swatted me around the face with a white glove for having such notions above my station. [ Jane Birkin's original Hermès handbag sells for record €8.6m at Paris auction Opens in new window ] I was reminded of my Chanel handbag quest last week when a Hermès handbag, which had originally belonged to Jane Birkin , sold at auction for €8.6 million. The bag, carried by singer and actor Birkin for nine years, was the prototype for the now iconic and hideously expensive Birkin bag. A new Birkin bag will set you back at least €10,000, and you basically need eye of newt and gossamer fairy wings to get on the waiting list. READ MORE At the very least, you need an impressive purchase history with Hermès before they'll even consider letting you out the door with a Birkin on your arm. A Birkin is a good investment though, if you can get your hands on one; because they're so difficult to obtain, they have a huge resale value. It was to the resellers I went next on my Chanel Classic Flap search (classic flap still makes me laugh in a very juvenile way to this day). I was dealt another series of blows as I discovered that the second-hand ones cost almost as much – and sometimes more than – the new ones and were just as difficult to get one's hands on. With the birthday looming and still no Chanel, I decided to bite the bullet and go straight to the source: the Chanel counter in Brown Thomas . Obviously, there were no Classic Flaps available in any size. It was also obvious that I was not the typical Chanel customer. I had attempted to look chic by wearing all black, but it was a warm day and between that and my not-so-Pretty-Woman inferiority complex, my upper lip was sweating. I made it clear that I was there to make a purchase though, and careened around the display cabinets, dithering over the bags they had in stock and having one of those out-of-body experiences where numbers no longer have meaning. I made my purchase and was invited to take a seat slightly further inside the Chanel sanctum while they carried out the elaborate wrapping. I purchased a Mulberry bag but it was a poor investment and I ended up selling it on eBay for a quarter of what I paid for it. Photograph: Jeff Greenberg/ Getty Images I expected confetti cannons to go off as I exited the store. I expected a flash mob to erupt as I walked down the street, akin to that scene in Annie when the gardeners and cleaners all break into song after it's confirmed that Daddy Warbucks has secured the adoption. It remained subdued on that front, but it was all worth it when my friend saw the Chanel box on the morning of her birthday and shed some gratifying tears. Her daughter was quick off the mark and asked, 'Can I have that when you die?'. Now there's a child who knows a thing or two about resale value. [ I decided to buy almost nothing in 2025. Here's how it is going Opens in new window ] I decided to make a handbag investment of my own a year or two before the Chanel. It was a Mulberry bag, nowhere near as expensive, but still nothing to be sniffed at. I had some publishing success money burning a hole in my bank account and I imagined myself building a portfolio of carefully selected items and then maybe having them sell at auction for millions as I entered my dotage. Fair Deal who? Unfortunately, the Mulberry was a poor investment, and I sold it on eBay this year for a quarter of what I paid for it. However, I did learn a few things during my brief luxury handbag career. I learned that I cannot be trusted with any significant amount of money at my disposal. I learned that if you buy a friend a coveted luxury item, she might never use it for fear of something happening to it or, in her own words, 'someone looking at it wrong'. I learned that even if you drop thousands on a Chanel handbag, the Brown Thomas points you earned can still expire. Big mistake. Huge.

This designer dressed Chappell Roan and Reneé Rapp with biomaterials
At her kitchen stove, fashion designer Caroline Zimbalist looks like an alchemist at work as she stirs a pot full of corn starch and a thickener made from seaweed. The peppermint-scented mixture glitters as she carefully pours it into silicone moulds of hearts and leaves. When the material hardens, Zimbalist will stitch it into unique, made-to-order dresses that she sells on her website. She hopes her designs, which have been worn by celebrities including Chappell Roan, will put a spotlight on materials that are not sourced from planet-polluting fossil fuels such as oil. 'It's almost like a vessel to show the world,' she says. Fashion designer Caroline Zimbalist poses in her studio in New York. Photo: AP Other small-scale designers are testing out tapioca, gelatin and other kitchen-shelf ingredients. Meanwhile, big names such as Adidas and Hermès have experimented with mushroom leather, while the Lycra brand is incorporating a new, largely corn-based material into stretch fabric.

Jane Birkin's Original Hermès Bag Sells for $10 Million at Auction
In a landmark fashion moment, Jane Birkin's original Hermès handbag sold for a staggering $10.1 million at a Sotheby's auction in Paris. Created as a one-off prototype in 1984, the bag has now become the most expensive handbag ever auctioned, underscoring its unmatched cultural and historical significance. A Fashion Icon Born Mid-Flight The bag's story began in 1981 during a chance encounter aboard a flight. Jane Birkin famously sketched the design on an air sickness bag while seated next to Hermès executive Jean-Louis Dumas. Her practical needs and artistic flair led to the creation of what would become one of fashion's most iconic accessories. Handcrafted by Hermès and delivered to Birkin in 1985, the bag was used daily until 1994. Unlike commercial Birkin models, this prototype was adorned with stickers from Médecins du Monde and UNICEF, and even included a nail clipper—adding deeply personal touches to an already historic piece. Auction Sets Historic Records The bag sparked intense interest, with nine collectors bidding during a 10-minute showdown. Ultimately, a private buyer from Japan secured the prized item. Its final price of $10.1 million (8.6 million euros, including fees) shattered the previous auction record for a handbag, set by a diamond-studded crocodile Kelly bag that fetched $513,040 in 2021. It also eclipsed the $450,000 sale of a white-diamond Himalaya Birkin in 2022. Auctioneer Aurélie Vandevoorde described the Birkin as 'the most famous bag of all time,' while Sotheby's Global Head of Handbags and Fashion, Morgane Halimi, called the sale 'an important milestone.' Halimi added, 'It is incredible to think that a bag initially designed by Hermès as a practical accessory for Jane Birkin has become the most desirable bag in history.' Cultural Value Beyond Luxury The record-breaking sale marks not only the financial worth of this unique accessory but also its lasting influence on fashion history. As the muse behind one of the most coveted luxury items ever made, Jane Birkin left an enduring legacy. Her passing in 2023 only deepened the emotional and cultural value tied to this iconic piece.

Skinny Lindsay Lohan turns heads in nude look while shopping in Beverly Hills
Lindsay Lohan looked super slim during a shopping trip in Los Angeles on Monday. The 39-year-old actress — who celebrated her July 2 birthday in Italy — was dressed in a clinging, nude-colored, matching set consisting of a T-shirt and leggings. Lohan, whose movie Freakier Friday hits theaters next month, punctuated her casual outfit with a pair of black sneakers. She carried her belongings in a small, black Hermès handbag and covered her eyes with a pair of dark designer sunglasses. Her lengthy, lustrous, bright blonde locks were parted down the middle as they fell over her chest in a subtle wave. In late June Lindsay shared a photo of her husband Bader Shammas and their nearly two-year-old son Luai during their Italian holiday. The Mean Girls sensation captioned the carousel post, 'Beautiful Italy. Cherishing this beautiful trip filled with incredible memories of love, laughter and pure bliss with my family ❤️ and very delicious food!' The post has so far racked up over 360,000 likes from her nearly 16 million followers. Days later she shared a single selfie with her husband and son as she wore a lacy yellow blouse and smiled ear-to-ear. She wrote that she was 'grateful,' and added a note in Italian that translates to: 'Unforgettable moments in Italy with my family.' In May the lifelong entertainer told Elle magazine she'd like for her son to have a sibling to play with. 'I feel like we live in a different world now, where women make it such a point, especially in motherhood, to make time for ourselves. 'We make it important. But also, once you have one kid, you're like, 'Oh, my kid needs a kid to play with,'' the silver screen siren shared. She also noted, 'I don't know if it's selfish — but I'm like, "I need more than one kid to take care of me when I'm older."' In November 2021, the Herbie: Fully Loaded actress took to Instagram to announce her engagement to Shammas. She showed off her diamond ring as she posed with her new fiancé, writing in the caption: 'My love. My life. My family. My future.' Lindsay wed her partner in 2022 and revealed the news by referring to him as her 'husband' in an Instagram message that she posted on her 36th birthday. Earlier this month she used the social media platform, where she boasts 15 million followers, to pay tribute to her now-husband on his birthday. She gushed, 'Happy Birthday to the love of my life. You're an incredible son, a devoted husband, and the most amazing father. Watching you with our family is the greatest gift. You make us feel safe, cherished, and loved. 'Every day by your side is a blessing and I'm so lucky to walk through life with you. I love you endlessly.'
