Hermès Birkin 30cm Tabac/Caramel Touch Shiny Croc/Togo GHW

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 shiny (Lisse) finish is created by hand-buffing the crocodile skin with agate stone, a process that draws out the leather’s natural oils. Nilocitus Crocodile scales are larger and less regular in shape than those of the Porosus and when polished have a more textured feel. Nilocitus crocodile is signified by two dots (••) next to the Hermes name on the bag.

One of Hermès’ most recognisable leathers, Togo is a supple, pebbled leather and features a distinctive vertical grain that is slightly raised to the touch. Although lightweight it holds its shape well and has the advantage of being resistant to scratches and can even withstand a little light rain.

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.
