On Nov. 25, the Bonhams Paris Fashion & Handbags sale will feature a one-of-a-kind Hermès Birkin 30 in black Togo leather featuring Jane Birkin's personal note to a pal, written in her signature white pen.

High-end accessories are having a moment at Bonhams Paris with the upcoming sale of a one-off Birkin bag, and a recent jewelry auction with Cartier pieces that outstripped estimates by more than five times.

On Nov. 25, a one-of-a-kind Hermès Birkin 30 in black Togo leather, formerly owned by Jane Birkin, will be featured in the Bonhams Paris Fashion & Handbags sale.

The bag, from 2009, features Birkin’s handwritten inscription to a friend and her signature, making it a rare collectors’ item. The bag is being offered with an estimate of 40,000 euros to 70,000 euros.

In April 2010, Birkin traveled to Athens to attend the 11th Francophone Film Festival and to promote her album “Jane Birkin au Palace.” During her visit, the Eyjafjöll volcano in southern Iceland erupted, causing extended flight cancellations that prevented Birkin from joining her daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg, in the U.S.

Instead, Birkin decided to visit her friend Georgia, in Athens, and gave her the bag. She hand-wrote a personal note in French and signed it with her signature white pen. Translated, it says, “Georgia, So that you may be safe, for us, your friends. Jane B (Birkin) Athens.”

Hubert Felbacq, director of the fashion and accessories department at Bonhams in Paris , said Birkin’s relationship with the eponymous bag “remains one of fashion’s most enduring stories.
