The Birkin handbag by Hermès has been a symbol of the elite for more than 30 years. Luxury, handmade tote was named after actress and signer Jane Birkin, that now wants her name off it.

After revealing the disturbing practices used in production of the iconic handbag, Jane Birkin asked to take off her name from it. Recent PETA investigation showed that the alligator factory, that delivers leather for Hermès uses inhumane practices. Does it mean it’s the end of Birkin bag popularity?
