NFT Metabirkins bags
Mason Rotschild, who presents himself as a digital artist, and who was inspired by the famous Birkin bag of Hermès to create and sell NFT - unique digital objects - of Birkin bags called Metabirkins informed his community that Hermès filed a complaint againsthim.He declares himself ready to go to court and win against Hermès.This is not a sale of Real Birkin bags "I do not create and I do not sell false birkin bags" he writes."I have produced works of art representing imaginary birkin bags covered with fur," he defends himself.It is based on the first amendment of the American Constitution to create and sell works of art that represent Birkin bags, as has allowed in particular to Andy Warhol, to create and sell works of art that represent boxesCampbell soups.
"I also have the right to use the term metabirkins to faithfully describe what this art represents, and to artistically comment on these bags and the Birkin brand," he continues. "The fact that I sell this art using NFT does not change the fact that it is art," he said. "It is clear by reading Hermès' complaint that they do not understand what the NFT or what the NFTS are doing," he said. "It should not be my job to educate you on the progress of the world and the culture of art," he already wrote to Hermès during a previous response to the luxury brand. An informal discussion could have resolved the Mason Rotschild conflict said it had previously received a letter from Hermès asking him to stop making metabirkins. He then replied that he had the right to do what he was doing and proposed an informal discussion with a representative of Hermès indicating that he thought it would be enough to settle the conflict. It was then that Hermès launched a legal action against him. Metabirkins bags are no longer accessible on the OpenSea marketplace. They were then offered on the rare marketplace, where they are no longer visible now. A dedicated Metabirkins site has been created and presents the NFT Metabirkins bags. The NFT Metabirkins were created on the Ethereum blockchain. The complaint of Hermès, recorded on January 14, 2022, indicates that the first Metabirkins NFT bag was sold on December 3, 2021 for a price of 10 Ether, or 42,000 US dollars, according to the exchange rate of this cryptocurrency this date. The dedicated metabirkins site directs to the Looksrare platform if you want to acquire an NFT.
