Hermès Birkin 30cm Black Touch Alligator/Novillo GHW
Hermès Birkin 30cm in Black Shiny Alligator/Novillo with Gold hardware.
The Birkin 30 is characterised by its proportions, suitable for both daytime and evening use. This size accommodates essentials while maintaining a manageable weight, allowing for ease of handling.
Hermès Birkin showcases a high-gloss finish achieved through traditional buffing techniques, resulting in a mirror-like sheen that conceals minor imperfections. The central scales are rectangular, tapering towards the edges, creating a symmetrical pattern. Novillo leather, introduced in 2015, features a fine grain that resists scratches and absorbs colour richly.
Condition is brand new, with a 'C' stamp, receipt included, and all accessories present. Dimensions are 30cm x 22cm x 16cm, colour code 89.

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
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.
A newer leather introduced in 2015, Novillo has a fine, natural grain which resists superficial scratches well. Colour is absorbed beautifully, allowing for rich saturated tones.
Hermès Colour
Black Birkins have always been, and continue to be, Lilac Blue's best seller. For Hermes bags it is one of very few classic colours and is produced every season of every year. Black complements all types of wardrobes and occasions – from formal business wear to casual jeans and neutrals and whether you’re a seasoned collector or making your first purchase, it will never go out of style.
Hardware
Hermès Gold hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, plated in either 18 carat gold, or for some Special Order bags, 24 carat gold and then hand polished. Choose gold hardware for a warm, luxurious finish to your bag.
