Description
Model History:
Conceived in 1984 following a meeting between Jane Birkin and Jean-Louis Dumas, the Birkin quickly acquired iconic status in the world of luxury leather goods. Entirely handcrafted by Hermès artisans, each piece reflects exceptional expertise. Togo leather, introduced in the 1990s, quickly won over enthusiasts for its resistance, lightly grained texture and supple yet structured hold. The 2003 model presented here belongs to a highly sought-after generation, perfectly balancing tradition and comfort of use.
Exterior Details:
Dark brown Togo leather offers a dense, even texture, with a marked grain that’s soft to the touch. This deep brown shade, neither too warm nor too cool, captures the light with subtlety and complements a wide variety of outfits. Bright gold metal (GHW) finishes – clasp, padlocks, bag feet, strap elements – are bright and oxidation-free. Rigid handles allow for structured hand-carrying. The bag rests on four metal feet for stability.
Interior Details:
The interior of the bag, also in smooth brown leather, is spacious and functional. It features a large patch pocket on one side and a zipped pocket on the other, both finished with care. The wide opening allows optimum access to contents, and the side gussets ensure good capacity without distorting the bag’s silhouette.
Condition:
This Birkin 35 is in excellent condition. The leather has no scratches or noticeable marks, the corners are clean, the handles firm and the metal fittings perfectly shiny. It shows no signs of wear from use, testifying to rigorous care and proper storage.
Care instructions:
We recommend keeping this bag in its dustbag, away from light and moisture. To preserve the shine of Togo leather, regular dusting with a soft cloth is sufficient. Avoid prolonged contact with liquids or dark textiles likely to rub off. Occasional maintenance by an authorized Hermès craftsman is recommended to prolong its life.
