Shay Mitchell Just Wore The Birkin Everyone Is Currently Coveting

One of the biggest handbag trends in the last couple of years has undoubtedly been the east/west silhouette. It’s ruled the runways, it’s ruled our street-style rounds, and it’s shown absolutely no signs of slowing down!

One of the handbag world’s most iconic east/west bags, the Hermès JPG Birkin, saw a much-anticipated revival on the heels of the trend, quickly becoming one of the world’s most coveted Birkins of the 2020s.

It was first created by Jean-Paul Gaultier and debuted in Fall 2004 as part of his first collection for Hermès. It returned to the runway for Spring 2025, and its comeback has caught the attention of serious collectors and everyday bag lovers alike.
