## Caption

Last year, history was made at #SothebysParis when Jane Birkin’s original Hermès Birkin bag sold for €8.6 million ($10.1 million). After weeks of anticipation, bidders on the phone, online and in the room battled for the one-of-a-kind handbag with the opening bid alone of $513,040 shattering the world record for any Birkin.
