Some items are too exclusive to put a price tag on. Instead, these works are sold at high-end auctions, ultimately purchased for sums unimaginable to most people.
For example, in July 2025, the Original Hermès Birkin, made for Jane Birkin in 1985 sold for $10 million at a Sotheby’s auction in Paris, according to ABC 7. Offered in the exact condition Birkin left it in, the well-worn bag contained her initials J.B., a nail clipper hanging from the bag’s strap and the marks of stickers previously stuck to it.
