A Birkin is not only a bag. Over the last decade the pieces we place have behaved like an asset class of their own — scarce by design, and quietly appreciating while they sit in the wardrobe.
The Index of Rarity tracks that story. It follows the house's core grails, rebased to 100 in 2016, so you can see at a glance how rarity has held — and grown — its value.
