Description
HERMES Paris, 2009. Magnificent 35cm ‘BIRKIN’ bag: in Togo Gold leather, with gold-coloured metal fittings and clasp, and double handles. One patch pocket and one zipped pocket inside. Gold-tone metal trim. Made in France. ‘M’ date stamp within a square. Approx. H 26 x W 35 x D 19 cm. Very good overall external condition, slight wear to the corners, a stain on the flap and very slight wear to the metal fittings. Padlock and keys in a pouch, rain cover and Hermès invoice. There are bags that one carries, and others that one waits for. The Birkin has belonged to the latter category for over forty years. More than just a bag, the Birkin is a talking point: people often ask less about what’s inside than how it was acquired. The Hermès Birkin 35 Gold epitomises the excellence of French leather craftsmanship. Crafted with exceptional artisanal skill, this iconic model captivates with its warm and timeless Gold hue, which has become one of the House’s most sought-after signatures. Crafted from Togo leather, prized for its even grain and remarkable durability. In its 35 cm version, it exudes a structured and generous elegance, designed to accompany everyday life with distinction. A balance between elegance and functionality. The Birkin was designed in 1984 for Jane Birkin, following a chance encounter on a flight between the then-chairman of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, and the singer – a new mother at the time – who was complaining that she couldn’t find a bag that was both practical and chic. With its two handles and generous capacity, this bag – one of the most expensive in the world – is favoured by celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and the heroines of the TV series *Sex and the City*. Like its cousin, the Kelly bag (named after Grace Kelly), and the silk scarves, it is an Hermès icon. Each bag is crafted from start to finish by a single artisan at Hermès. It can take up to 48 hours to create this iconic piece from the French luxury house.
