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 Construction
A softer construction style where the seams are turned inward, Retourné creates a more relaxed and rounded silhouette. The edges are smooth, and the overall look is understated and supple, often associated with a more casual feel.
Hermès Material
Made from the male bull calf, Clemence has been in production longer than Togo, and at first glance appears almost identical. The grain is larger, and the leather heavier which means that bags made with Clemence tend to slouch more.
Hermès Colour
An older colour, Bougainvillea is a warm pinky red. It hasn’t featured in the Hermes colour charts for some years so it’s most likely to be found on preloved bags.
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.
