The Original Birkin Exhibition

Valuence Japan, a distinguished name in luxury items, is set to host a remarkable exhibition from November 19 to 24, 2025, unveiling the Original Birkin bag that was personally used by the iconic actress, Jane Birkin. This event, titled "The ORIGINAL BIRKIN Exhibition: Japan's First Public Reveal of the Unique Original Birkin," will take place at ALLU Omotesando and is expected to captivate luxury enthusiasts and cultural aficionados alike. The exhibition will operate through an application and lottery system, allowing a limited number of attendees to witness this rare piece of fashion history.

A Glimpse into Sustainable Luxury

In recent years, the luxury brand resale market has shown rapid growth, driven by a shift in consumer values towards sustainability and cultural preservation. Valuence Japan, known for its commitment to being a "Circular Design Company," plays a pivotal role in bridging valuable luxury items to future generations. By connecting unwanted items to those who need them, the company works diligently to promote a sustainable future for both people and the planet.

Earlier this year, at a Sotheby’s auction in Paris, the Original Birkin bag was sold for approximately 1.47 billion yen, including fees, highlighting its unparalleled value. This unique bag, crafted by Hermès for Jane Birkin in the 1980s, exhibits the patina of years of use, complete with her initials and the marks of stickers, encapsulating immense cultural significance.

Valuence’s upcoming exhibition will exclusively feature this one-of-a-kind Original Birkin, offering visitors a rare opportunity to appreciate not just the aesthetic beauty of the bag, but also the stories and values it represents.

A Cultural Mission

Through this exhibition, Valuence aims to promote the values of "circulation" and "sustainable abundance." Their mission extends beyond showcasing luxury; it seeks to foster a broader understanding of diverse values, contributing to a future where all are respected. As a steward of culture, Valuence is dedicated to playing its part in creating a sustainable society.
