Jane Birkin for Lutz and Patmos by Jane Birkin
Year launched: 2007
Part owner Tina Lutz who designs the line along with partner Marcia Patmos said the following about Jane Birkin and the collaboration: “She has this really relaxed, nonchalant style without being overtly sexy, which is very sexy.”
an English-born naturalized French actress, singer and film director, Birkin emerged in the swinging ’60s in London, starring as one of the models in the controversial 1966 film Blowup. Hermes named and designed a handbag – the Birkin bag – for her in 1984 after the actress was seen in 1981 by the head of Hermes struggling with several bags while boarding an aeroplane. The Birkin bag has become one of Hermes’ most popular and expensive handbags.
