Funny that she's the opposite from most women who buys birkin bags as a symbol of status, luxury and wealth. She's humble, natural, far from pretentious, she was just amazing and iconic.

She was a beautiful soul and never lost her childlike wonder and joy, even after a big tragedy. She was humble and down to earth, we need more artists like her who age gracefully and celebrate their talent at any age. Rest in peace Jane .

To lose a child cuts deeply and never heals completely. The parent who adored that child will never again know true happiness. I know. I lost my beloved daughter through a freak accident almost 5 years ago. Not long after I lost my dad and lost dad not long after my mother. I'm 70 now and the tears still come sometimes.

Ive been a huge fan of Jane since I was in my tweens I always admired her bubbly and outgoing personality. It really breaks my heart that she felt that she lost her confidence after her daughter passed. Even her zodiac sign excudes a natural confidence from another pair of lenses. It really shows that the pain of losing a child forever sticks with you. I can’t even imagine the whole world knowing about it and consistently asking questions regarding such an emotional wound. R.I.P to Jane. She was a very humble woman from what we can see I wish I was able to see her live at least once. My forever icon, fly high 🤍🕊️

JANE BIRKIN "the dream in the drawer" and in the THOUGHTS of all the boys of that time: her very sweet and sensual voice given to us when in 1969 she imprinted on vinyl the few phrases of the song JE T'AIME ... she made the world fall in love whole and not just the male one. She had CHARM and possessed a NIGHTMARE BEAUTY!!! She was also a successful woman in the arts for a good decade. I sincerely hope to be able to meet her BEAUTIFUL and HAPPY again in her new home and sing with her and endlessly a hymn that will vehemently make all the souls of heaven gasp: “JE T’AIME”…!!! 💔❤
