A Hermes handbag once belonging to Jane Birkin will be auctioned in Abu Dhabi on December 5, following the record-breaking sale of the original for over $10 million, Sotheby's said Tuesday.

Nicknamed the "Birkin Voyageur", the estimated value of the late actor's black leather bag hovers between $230,000 and $430,000.

Gifted to Birkin by Hermes in 2003, it is one of four the celebrity owned after auctioning the original to raise money for an AIDS charity in 1994.

This one was first auctioned in 2007 to help a human rights organisation and ended up in a private collection.

"Selling her Birkin bags to raise funds for charities she cared deeply about... became a tradition for Jane Birkin, with Hermes replacing them every time," Sotheby's stated.
