Rare Hermès Birkin Framboise Alligator Bag Goes Up for Auction at Julien's
A limited-edition Hermès Birkin is on the block as part of an auction hosted by Julien's. Entitled 'Bold Luxury: The Limelight Edit,' the full lot includes items once owned by Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Cher. Two Birkins are for sale under the latest Bold Luxury banner, with the first being a black 25cm Epsom leather Birkin with gold-plated hardware, dated to 2021. The second, however, is much more rare: a Framboise Matte Alligator Birkin with palladium hardware, also 25cm and made in 2021. More from WWD Hermès Signs Lease for Nashville Store Jane Birkin's Original Birkin Bag Goes On Display in France for the First Time: Meet the Handbag's Current Owner Hermès Bucks Luxury Downturn as Q4 Sales Jump 18% The name of its pink red hue, Framboise, translates to raspberry. The body of the bag is made from Togo leather, a durable textile that Hermès introduced in 1997. Its alligator flap, handles and clochette, however, make it a rare find, as Birkins crafted with exotic skins are produced in very limited quantities. Per Sotheby's, matte alligator Birkins are increasing in popularity and value. Alligator skins are naturally shiny, meaning that it takes additional labor — i.e. buffing — to create a matte finish. Matte Hermès bags are also less likely to show scratches or water marks, making them a more durable option. Combined, these factors could affect the Framboise Birkin's resale price, which is currently estimated at a high of $40,000. Released in 1984, the Hermès Birkin has become a universal status symbol. Its namesake derives from the late actress and singer Jane Birkin, who famously sketched the initial design herself. After meeting Hermès executive Jean-Louis Dumas on an airplane, she drew her Birkin blueprint on a sick bag. In need of a carry-all suitable for young mothers, she based it on one of the brand's other popular models. 'I said, 'Why don't you make a bag that's four times the Kelly that you can leave open?' Because girls like to have things on the end of their arm to put all their stuff in,' Birkin told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in 2020. Dumas added upon Birkin's sketch by taking inspiration from Hermès' Haut à Courroies, a favorite of her partner Serge Gainsbourg. Dumas eventually gifted the actress a black calfskin prototype of the Birkin, suggesting that the new purse be named after her. 'You know, when I'm dead, not only will people remember me for 'Je t'aime moi non plus,' but they'll possibly only talk about the bag,' Birkin said in the same CNN interview. Julien's inaugural Bold Luxury sale took place last fall and featured multiple Hermès handbags. Celebrity highlights included a pair of Sarah Jessica Parker's stilettos from 'Sex and the City' and a silk scarf worn by Jennifer Garner in '13 Going on 30.'

Elizabeth Taylor's 14-karat Gold Purse, Art Deco Diamond Brooch, Ruby Necklace and More Pieces From Her Jewelry Collection Up for Auction
Elizabeth Taylor collected some impressive jewelry pieces over the course of her life. The late Oscar-winning actress, who died in 2011, owned a bevy of jewels from emeralds to diamonds, rubies and many more. Now, pieces from the actress' collection are up for auction as part of Julien's Bold Luxury: The Limelight Edit auction, which will take place March 27 at the Peninsula Beverly Hills beginning at 10 a.m. PT. More from WWD EXCLUSIVE: Winona Ryder, Iman and Others Star in Pandora's Latest 'Be Love' Campaign EXCLUSIVE: Responsible Jewellery Council Launches Standard for Lab-grown Stones The 20 Best Spring Dresses to Wear From Day to Night 'Bold Luxury is not just an auction — it's an invitation to step into the limelight and own a tangible piece of cultural history,' said Martin Nolan, cofounder and executive director of Julien's Auctions. 'From the timeless elegance of Elizabeth Taylor to Marilyn Monroe's cinematic legacy, these rare collectibles continue to captivate the world and redefine the intersection of fashion and investment.' Below, WWD breaks down some of the highlights from the treasure trove of pieces previously owned by Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor's ruby, diamond and gold necklace and earring set features a circular-cut diamond with a marquise-cut ruby and a gold lion's face. The lion's face holds in its teeth a circular-cut diamond hoop. The necklace also features a four-strand ruby bead choker, joined by a circular-cut diamond and gold clasp. The earrings, featuring the same gold lion motif, feature detachable ruby tassels. The set's value is estimated between $200,000 to $300,000. The Art Deco emerald and diamond brooch dates back to roughly 1935. As described by Julien's, the piece features a pavé-set scroll bordered with old mine-cut and European-cut diamonds and emeralds framed in an open-work of the scroll; each emerald varies in cut and size. The stones are mounted in platinum and gold. The brooch's value is estimated between $100,000 and $200,000. Taylor was seen with her gold and diamond evening purse in December 1964, when the actress and her then-husband, Richard Burton, attended the Lido premiere, which was a burlesque show, in Paris, per Julien's. The handbag features a wedge-shaped design with a woven gold basket. The bag also features a diamond 'Liz' plaque. The bag's value is estimated between $100,000 and $200,000. Malcolm Forbes gifted Taylor this glittering diamond brooch. The piece features pear-shaped diamond clusters and two scroll-like bands of baguette-cut diamonds. The brooch's estimated value is between $20,000 and $30,000. Taylor's diamond and gold Star of David pendant necklace was designed by Theo Fennell. Taylor converted to Judaism in 1959, following the death of her husband Michael Todd and upon her marriage to Eddie Fisher. The necklace is described by Julien's as a detachable swivel pendant with circular-cut diamond and gold Star of David, which is mounted in 18-karat yellow and white gold. The pendant hangs on a rope-style chain. The necklace's value is estimated between $20,000 and $30,000.
