Specifications
Hermès Style & Size
The Hermès Birkin 25 is the scaled down version of Hermès’ most iconic handbag. Lined with chevre leather and featuring both a zip and slip pocket there’s enough room for a phone, wallet, keys, and small hairbrush, but not a lot else. It looks beautiful and dainty. Small people or those with very petite hands, can usually pass their hands through handles of a size 25, otherwise it is usually carried in the hand.
Hermès Material
Known as Gulliver until it was discontinued in 1999, this leather was reintroduced in 2005 as Swift. It has a fine grain which is soft to the touch and the ability to absorb dyes and reflect the light make it very popular. The drawback to Swift is that it is easily scratched so needs careful handling.
Hermès Colour
A true medium green, as the name suggests. It sits between the lighter more vibrant greens and the darker forest tones of Vert Mangrove or Vert Cypress.
Hardware
Hermès Palladium hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, and then plated in precious metal. Palladium belongs to the platinum group of metals and has a brighter and whiter look than silver. More precious than gold, palladium is hard wearing and scratch-resistant.
