Jane Birkin’s original Hermès bag has sold for a record-breaking €8.6m (£7.4m; $10.1m) at an auction in Paris.

The timeworn black leather bag, complete with marks where she had previously placed stickers, was designed for her after she spilled her belongings while sitting next to the boss of luxury fashion house on a flight.

The prototype he made was sold to a private collector from Japan at Sotheby’s in Paris on Thursday, far surpassing the $513,000 (£378,000; €439,000) previous record sale.
