Hermes is well known for its luxury handbags. Birkin bags start at $8,500 and rare ones can cost up to $400,000. They are considered to be status symbols and many celebrity stars flaunt these bags on occasion.
Hermes first introduced these bags in 1984. They named these handcrafted bags after Jane Birkin, a French-English actor and singer. The Birkin as it is called quickly became popular and is a much-coveted luxury good.
The French luxury goods maker is not only famous for its handcrafted luxury bags but is also popular for its silk scarves. The silk scarves are sold under the Hermes label while its luxury totes and bags are sold under the Birkin brand.
Hermes has not only become the second most luxurious brand but has also overtaken national giants, some of which include Airbus, Renault, Carrefour and Societe Generale.
