how to actually Jane birkinify your bag because everyone is doing it wrong

except me :) and here is how to do it:

First and foremost who is Jane Birkin?

Jane Birkin is an American-French woman who lived her life as an actress, singer, director and as a muse for Hermes Birkin. Jane always used big baskets as bags because she couldn’t find a bag that fit all of her stuff and one day she got on the plane same one as Jean-Louis Damas, Hermes’s creative director. Damas allegedly suggested that she get a bag with pockets, to which she replied that the moment Hermès made one, she would give up her basket to own it. Damas and Birkin continued discussing Birkin’s ideal bag, and she claims to have sketched out a design on an airplane sick bag. So, on a flight to London from Paris Birkin bag was born. It was released in 1984.

Now let’s look at one of Jane Birkin’s Birkin and how to “Jane birkinify” your bag:

1. Live with it: Jane Birkin ,herself, only owned a few Birkin bags in her life and all of them looked well-worn. Only a couple celebrities wore their birkins like her and two of them are Olsen twins. Their bags look well-worn like Jane Birkin’s and you can tell it is loved by them with the scratches on the leather, stickers around the bag and random beads hanging from the bag.

   

2. Make it yours: One of the things that made Jane Birkin’s bags stand out was how she decorated it but also how much she carried with them not because it was a trend in TikTok but because she actually used the bag most. And you could tell the way she “decorated” them was spontaneous and chaotic not purposeful and perfect.

3. Take the damn labubu off: I actually hate labubus so much so this is a biased opinion but take it off, please. Not only it looks bad but also it doesn’t belong on your bag, it looks off-putting. Instead I will teach you how to actually accessorize it while making it look cool.

4. Accessorize it with your favorites: There are many things you can put on your bag; your favorite necklace, a little souvenir your friend gave you, a key-charm you love, a little ribbon to add a detail, a sticker of your favorite quote and many more

Key point in all of this is to make bag yours and lived in. So, choose a perfect everyday bag for yourself and spend months with it, that’s how you actually Jane birkinify your bag.
