S32E10: Jane Birkin – It’s in the Bag!


This week Alicia gets to the bottom of the basket in this episode about Jane Birkin, English actress, singer, and designer – also, namesake of the very famous Birkin Bag. Jane’s story is truly incredible, and is the stickiest spiderweb from our Brigitte Bardot arc that we had to explore. Jane will have a long term love affair with Serge Gainsborough once Brigitte dumps him, but that is only one part of her incredible story.
