Auction introduction: This autumn, Christie’s embarks on a new chapter as we relocate our Asia Pacific headquarters to The Henderson, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of our Handbags and Accessories auction in Asia. To celebrate these historic moments, our specialists have curated the most spectacular selection of handbags to date, featuring the finest and rarest limited editions from esteemed brands such as Hermès, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton, all of which will be presented in our inaugural live auction at The Henderson on 28 October. This landmark event offers fashion enthusiasts the opportunity to admire and acquire the predecessor to the iconic Hermès matte white Himalaya niloticus crocodile bag — a Birkin 25, exquisitely crafted from stunning shiny Vert Céladon crocodile and making its debut at Christie’s. The auction will also feature a complete collection of the highly coveted Faubourg Birkin bags, alongside the holy grail of handbags — the Himalaya crocodile diamond Kelly bag. These extraordinary pieces are sure to captivate even the most discerning collectors. As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Handbags and Accessories auctions in Asia, this live auction promises to be an unparalleled occasion for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with both the history and future of luxury handbags, all within the stunning environment of Christie’s new headquarters at The Henderson.
