The original Birkin, named after the British actress and singer, is now also the second most expensive fashion item to ever be sold, after it went under the hammer at Sotheby's in Paris on Thursday.
The bag, famously the brainchild of British-French actress, Jane Birkin, and Hermès, has emerged into what many consider the world's most coveted and iconic fashion accessory.
Janice Joostema, who boasts 1.2million followers on Instagram, shared CCTV of the moment her Hermes shoulder Birkin bag was swiped while she was swiped at Maniere De Voir on Oxford Street.
