Isha Ambani showcases $2m diamond Birkin at Paris Fashion event

PARIS: Isha Ambani drew attention at Paris Haute Couture Week with a rare diamond-studded Hermès Birkin bag reportedly valued at about $2 million, overshadowing even her couture ensemble.

Ambani attended Indian designer Rahul Mishra’s runway show carrying the Hermès Birkin Sac Bijou, a highly exclusive piece regarded as one of the world’s most valuable handbags.

According to luxury resale platform Privé Porter and auction house Sotheby’s, the jeweled handbag is valued at approximately $2 million. Unlike a traditional Birkin, the miniature piece is designed as high jewelry rather than for everyday use.

Designed by Pierre Hardy for Hermès’ haute joaillerie collection, the bag is crafted from 18-karat white gold and set with 3,025 diamonds totaling more than 111 carats. It also features a crocodile-inspired texture in white gold.

Reports said the rare handbag belongs to Ambani’s mother, Nita Ambani.

Ambani paired the accessory with a gray couture gown featuring a sweetheart neckline, a corset-style bodice and intricate beadwork, along with diamond jewelry by designer Lorraine Schwartz, including a statement necklace, earrings and a diamond ring.
