Description
Model History:
Created in 1984 for actress Jane Birkin, the Birkin bag was born of a chance meeting between her and Jean-Louis Dumas, then President of Hermès. Conceived as a practical, elegant travel bag, it quickly became a symbol of absolute luxury. The 35 format is the most iconic, offering a perfect balance between functionality and elegance. Its rarity, craftsmanship and image have made it a cult object in the world of vintage and collectible leather goods.
Exterior Details:
Togo leather has a natural, semi-matt, slightly ribbed grain that gives the bag a beautiful structure while retaining a certain suppleness. The classic, versatile black hue complements any style. The palladium hardware (clasp, padlock, bottom feet, bell) offers an elegant cool metallic contrast. The dimensions – 35 cm long, 25 cm high and 18 cm deep – allow everyday use while maintaining a chic allure. Tone-on-tone saddle stitching testifies to rigorous craftsmanship.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in smooth black lambskin, with one patch pocket and one zipped pocket. The interior layout is designed to optimize organization, with quick access and the impeccable finish that is the signature of Hermès. The discreet stamp of the workshop and the year of production are visible inside, proof of authenticity and traceability.
Product Condition:
This Birkin is in very good condition. The Togo leather retains its clean grain without deep scratches or sagging. Plastics are always present in jewelry. The interior is clean, spotless and odorless.
Care instructions:
Togo leather should be moisturized from time to time with a suitable care product to prevent drying out. We recommend storing it in its dustbag, with tissue paper inside to preserve its shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and humidity. Clean metal parts with a soft, dry cloth.
