Christie's Offers 130 Handbags with No Reserve in Online Sale
Christie's online Handbags sale runs from June 12 to 24, featuring nearly 300 models, with 130 lots offered without reserve. The sale is designed to be accessible for collectors and enthusiasts. The highlight is a white Birkin 20 Faubourg estimated at €180,000–€300,000 with an opening bid of €160,000. Two exceptional pieces from the late 1990s showcase Hermès's experimentation with materials and metallic effects, as seen in Leïla Menchari's window displays. A rare Birkin 40 in gold, silver, and bronze goatskin is considered potentially one-of-a-kind and highly sought-after.
