Jane Birkin auctioned off her Hermès Birkin bag (yes, the original) to benefit earthquake relief efforts in Japan! The worn-in purse, which Birkin decorated with stickers and talismans from her travels, fetched £100,100 on eBay this weekend—or about $162,840 at the current exchange rate, and all of the proceeds will go to the British Red Cross. “It’s very nice that everyone’s got one or wants one,” Birkin told Vogue. “I keep saying to Hermès to make it out of plastic or, even more fun, make it out of cardboard. Then it wouldn’t be so heavy.” That’s one way to shorten the wait list for the sought-after style!

The Hellcats and High School Musical star scored her first Birkin bag by Hermès! “After two years of waiting the New York Hermes store came through!! Aaahhh!!!!!” the 25-year-old Tweeted today in reference to the infamously long wait list the store traditionally has for one of these accessories. Tisdale bought a cobalt blue version, one of the most popular colors of spring so far. The Hermès store in New York sells the Birkin bag for $9,000 and up, a salesperson tells us.
