Hermes Birkin bag design and cultural significance
The Hermes Birkin bag was introduced in 1984. With prices starting at $6,000 and ranging up to six figures, the Birkin is a highly-coveted status symbol worn on the arms of A-list celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Victoria Beckham. The Birkin is all the more exclusive because of its notorious waiting list, that has been quoted as being as long as ten years. In 2010, Hermes did away with the wait list. This has broad implications for the brand's elitist image and its diffusion among its adopter categories, three of which (innovators, early adopters and late majority) are discussed in the paper.
