Auctioning off a piece of fashion history where had it not been for the Haut à Courroies, there would be no Birkin.
The bag was created as a prototype for actress Jane Birkin in 1984.
The historic bag will be on display at Sotheby’s New York this week before it goes under the hammer in Paris this July.
“The most Parisian of the English has left us.”
All prompted by a PETA investigation.
