Jane Birkin in the ’70s wore on every occasion, with elegant casualness and style that characterized her, from the afternoon to the beach with flared jeans and white t-shirt to the gala evenings with transparent or sequined dress, her effortlessy chic basket. The basket has lasted until “one day came under the wheels of the car of my boyfriend, Jacques Doillon, which intentionally run over my famous basket saying” it’s terrible that you can be recognized for an object you’re wearing.”
Do you want to buy a Birkin style basket?
You can find them by Antonello Utzeri the Sardinian artisan who made them recently for Antonio Marras (in the pic) that weaves the baskets with a fragrant myrtle wood or from this Portuguese site that has made it a real business … but put yourself on the waiting list …
