I must have forgotten who Jane Birkin was. British and French. Actress, singer and designer. Somehow she was mighty famous to have her original Hermes bag sell for over $10 million. She died in 2023.
There are lots of pictures of her - very photogenic- something important in the 1960s. She was in the cast of "Death on the Nile" - what a cast that was - Bette Davis, David Niven, Jane Birkin, Lois Chiles, Mia Farrow, Olivia Hussey, George Kennedy, Angela Lansbury, Maggie Smith, Peter Ustinov, Jon Finch, I.S. Johar, Simon MacCorkindale, and Jack Warden in Death on the Nile (1978).
Veranda.com has a year by year picture gallery of her from the 1960s to 1977 HERE. It is all black and white images. We could go to Vogue.co.uk to see the 25 looks that made her the ultimate summer style muse HERE. Again, these are mostly black and white images.
And the Birkin bag? You can see lots of pictures of her with her Birkin Bag througjh the years. She must have liked that bag a lot.
And our picture for today takes us towards the garden. I am very pleased to find this floral design from the Annual Lily Show - it is a handbag made of leaves with a lily decoration.
