Hermès Birkin 35cm Bleu Marine/Cuivre Verso Shiny Croc PHW

Hermès Style & Size

The Birkin 35 is the original and most classic size of the iconic Birkin bag - celebrated for its blend of luxury, function, and timeless design. Introduced in the 1980s for actress and style icon Jane Birkin, the 35cm version was created to be roomy enough for everyday essentials, making it the ultimate chic carryall for modern life. For practical work or travel bag, it will carry a laptop and almost everything else although it gets heavy when full and is too large for an evening bag. For those who are able to use it casually, it makes a brilliant gym bag or baby bag.

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 to produce its signature mirror-like sheen. It achieves a fabulous, almost glassy finish which works extremely well with rich colours. This delicate surface is sensitive to water and prone to fine scratches.

Hermès Colour

An exceptionally dark blue that offers a sophisticated alternative to black.

Cuivre - named after the French word for "copper" - is a warm, rich, and earthy tone that blends deep burnt orange with rusty brown undertones. Reminiscent of autumn leaves and polished metal, Cuivre offers a bold yet grounded colour that pairs especially well with autumnal wardrobes but can also provide contrast to light neutrals and soft pastels.

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.
