Hermès Style & Size
The Birkin 30 is favoured for its versatile proportions - large enough for daytime functionality but refined enough to carry into the evening. It transitions effortlessly between casual, business, and formal settings, making it a go-to bag for women who want form, function, and status in one piece. It can hold all the necessities, including iPad and an awful lot besides, it doesn’t get heavy, doesn’t look enormous at a restaurant table and is hugely resilient. It can be opened with ease and does not get too heavy. From this size up, Birkins are held on the forearm, your hand passing through the two handles.
Hermès Material
Originally used for making saddles, Barenia is a smooth water resistant leather. It wears well and because it absorbs oils found on skin develops a beautiful patina over time. This leather is usually paired with white contrast stitching.
The high-gloss finish of Shiny Alligator is achieved by buffing the skin with a stone. This traditional technique compresses the surface scales and produces a natural, mirror-like sheen which can help disguise small imperfections. The central scales are rectangular, gradually tapering to smaller, rounder ones toward the edges, creating a balanced and symmetrical pattern. Alligator is signified by a small square ☐ next to the Hermes name on the bag.
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.
