The Most Incredible Hermès Birkin Bags Are Going Up for Auction
Some are expected to sell for $90,000
Last week, it was revealed that Drake, like many of us, is a fan of Hermès Birkin bags. The only difference is that he's already started collecting these luxury handbags to give to his future wife, whoever she may be. "There's very few tangible things in this world that hold their value and appreciate as the years go on," Drizzy told The Hollywood Reporter. "It was one of those things that I started collecting as well for, I guess, the woman that I end up with one day. So I have a fairly vast collection of Hermès for that somebody at that point in life."
Luckily for the Toronto rapper and his fellow Birkin fans, Christie's will sell some of these highly-coveted bags starting next week. The New York auction house's upcoming Handbags & Accessories sale (November 22 - December 5), includes select pieces from Hermès, Chanel, and even the hard-to-get Supreme x Louis Vuitton collaboration.
