Birkins and Bollywood go hand in hand when it comes to airport looks. And the latest star to jump on the bandwagon is Janhvi Kapoor. Recently the actor was spotted at the Mumbai airport and her carry-on of choice was an , off-white Hermès Birkin 35.
She paired this with a laid-back white jumper and pants, retaining comfort. The choice of a muted Birkin marks a departure from Janhvi Kapoor's trendy and vibrant sense of style. The lore of this handbag's invention is just as popular as its muse—British actor and fashion icon Birkin.
In 1984, the young mother was on a flight from Paris to London venting about how things kept spilling out of her carry-on. Sitting next to her was Jean-Louis Dumas, the then Executive Chairman of Hermès who went on to create a rectangular with a burnished flap and saddle stitching that would fit everything she needed. This holdall, the Hermès Birkin, is one of the most coveted handbags found in every It girl's wardrobe.
Like Janhvi Kapoor, several other actors have had a love affair with series of s. Available in various sizes, colours, and types of leather–the bag has many dedicated collectors around the world and offers something to suit everyone’s sense of style. Janhvi also owns an Hermès Birkin in cherry red.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Birkin bags, in black and tan, often elevate her jeans and t-shorts or casual sets. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Sushmita Sen and Shilpa Shetty Kundra have all been spotted with the luxury.
