Description
Model History:
Launched in 1984, the Birkin bag by Hermès is the result of a meeting between actress Jane Birkin and Jean-Louis Dumas, then President of Hermès. Conceived as a spacious, functional bag, it now embodies a timeless symbol of luxury. The 35 cm format, long considered the most versatile, has established itself as a sought-after classic. Togo leather, introduced in the 1990s, has since gained in popularity for its resistant texture and controlled suppleness. This 2006 model continues this tradition, combining practicality with refined aesthetics.
Exterior details:
Red Togo leather features a natural, even grain that is both supple and structured. Tone-on-tone topstitching discreetly emphasizes the bag’s lines. Palladium jewelry adds a contemporary touch. The typical dimensions of the Birkin 35 – around 35 x 25 x 18 cm – make it a well-balanced format, suitable for everyday use as well as formal occasions. The overall silhouette is clean and uncluttered.
Interior details:
The interior is lined with red goatskin leather, faithful to the exterior hue, reinforcing the chromatic harmony. It includes a patch pocket and a zipped pocket for better organization.
Product Condition:
The bag is in perfect condition, with no visible marks or loss of shape. The leather retains all its original texture and shine, with no deep scratches or stains. The palladium hardware is shiny, without oxidation or noticeable scratches. The original padlock has been replaced by a matching Hermès key ring, in keeping with the overall aesthetic. The original dustbag is also present, a sign of rigorous conservation.
Care instructions:
We recommend keeping this bag away from direct light and moisture, ideally in its dustbag, in an upright position. Togo leather can be cleaned occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. In the event of stains or the need for in-depth cleaning, care by a Hermès professional is recommended.
