Georgina Rodríguez may be enjoying her endless summer holidays in the company of Cristiano Ronaldo and her children, but she has inadvertently placed herself again at the center of controversy. The reason for her, to carry out one of her usual raffles for luxury bags that her followers like so much. If the thing had stayed there, there would have been no problem, but the influencer of Argentine origin perhaps did not measure the times well because, for her last raffle, the most desired bag was a Birkin from Hermès.
Another detail that would not have been important either, had it not been for the death of the Anglo-French singer and actress Jane Birkin, the inspiration for the legendary bag, just a few hours earlier.
There are many who consider it in bad taste that Georgina Rodríguez has raffled off one of these luxurious bags just a few hours after the death of the actress, and that is that they blame her for having wanted to “take advantage” of the death of the artist to attract attention to her advertising commitments.
Comments like “bad taste is always inopportune”, irony about his particular “tribute” or some user questioning whether Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner would know who Jane Birkin is were the tonic on social networks.
Now, Georgina Rodríguez is a lover of bags, something that all her followers know. According to her, she confessed in her last interview in El Hormiguero, she has no less than 150 bags to her credit, hers being her favorite precisely her Birkin, which she owns in all colors.
Obviously, her faithful have turned a deaf ear to the criticism and have participated in the raffle en masse, gifting the influencer millions of “likes” on her post.
These now legendary bags were born from a chance meeting between Jean-Louis Dumas, former director of Hermès, and Jane Birkin. Dumas noticed that Birkin was carrying all of her things in a wicker basket, and witnessed how she dropped everything on the ground and complained to a friend of hers. Without hesitation, Dumas proposed to design a bag tailored to him. This is how what is considered the most exclusive and luxurious bag in the world was born.
They are made entirely by hand and, being unique models, they increase in value every year. Also, not everyone can get it, as currently only someone considered relevant to Hermès or who has spent a lot on the brand can get one.
The most luxurious and expensive of them all (it is said that its price exceeds 400,000 euros) is the Diamond Himalaya Birkin. It comes in three sizes and is known as “the holy grail of handbags”. It is a 35-centimeter Birkin with 18-carat white gold fittings and more than 200 diamonds; Made with the skin of the exotic niloticus crocodile and a shiny appearance that gives it the appearance of snowy mountains.
Only Georgina Rodríguez, Kim Kardashian or Jennifer Lopez are some of those who have their own version of this jewel bag.
