Hermès Birkin 30cm Gris Perle/Rose Extreme HSS Chevre PHW

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

Strong and resiliant to scratches Chevre is a lightweight leather, frequently used for Mini Kellies. Chevre features a "spine" in the pattern of the grain which varies slightly depending on the type. Mysore is most commonly used and has a slightly smaller grain than the discontinued de Coromandel - the "spine in Mysore is quite prominent.

Hermès Colour

A soft pale grey with a creamy undertone and another Hermes colour that can seem warmer or cooler depending on the light and leather type.

Originally from 2011, Rose Extreme is a bright saturated hot pink. It is particularly striking in Swift leather, which enhances the depth and richness of the colour.

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.
