The rapper, who is currently on his It’s All A Blur tour, surprised the crowd when he walked on stage with the pink designer purse and handed it to a woman in the front row.
The gesture was captured on a viral TikTok video by a designer. ave, who wrote: “His show tonight at the Forum in LA But why wasn’t it me lmao.”
What is a Birkin bag and why is it so expensive?
A Birkin bag is a handcrafted leather bag made by the French luxury brand Hermès.
It is named after the British actress and singer Jane Birkin, who co-designed the bag with the former Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas in 1984.
The bag is considered one of the world’s most exclusive and coveted accessories, as it is made with high-quality materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and limited production.
The price of a Birkin bag ranges from $10,000 to over $400,000, depending on the size, material, and rarity of the bag.
The bags are also tough to obtain, as they are not sold online or in regular stores.
Why did Drake give away a Birkin bag?
Drake has not explained why he decided to give away a Birkin bag at his concert, but he has previously revealed that he has a collection of Birkin bags that he plans to give to his future wife.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2017, he said: “I’m a fan of Hermès Birkins. There’s very few things in this world — tangible things anyway — that hold their value and sort of appreciate as the years go on. So it was one of those things that I started collecting as well for the woman that I end up with one day. So I have a fairly vast collection of Hermès to offer somebody at some point in life.”
Drake’s collection of Birkin bags was partially shown in his Toronto mansion featured in Architectural Digest in 2020.
In one photo, two Birkin bags can be seen on a dresser in his two-story closet: a mustard yellow crocodile style and a rare Himalaya Birkin.
Drake’s gesture of giving away a Birkin bag may also be seen as a way of showing his appreciation and love for his fans, who have supported him throughout his career.
