The iconic Birkin bag was born in 1984 from a serendipitous encounter between Jane Birkin and Hermès chairman Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight. However, as time passed, Jane expressed deep concern regarding the brand's use of crocodile skins for the bag. Concerned about animal welfare, she requested that her name be removed from the bag, stating she did not want to be associated with practices she found troubling.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The State of Style: Key Trends Shaping Fashion in 2024.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천
