Hermes Birkin bag

The Hermes Birkin bag has been one of the the most coveted bags for more than 40 years. Created in 1984 for the actress Jane Birkin.

Entirely handmade, the Birkin is still made in France in Hermès workshops. It is available in many colors, leathers and finishes.

Hermès exclusivity comes at a cost, not only financial. Getting a Birkin in the size, leather, color and hardware you dream of will also require little patience and luck. This limited availability in Hermes boutiques is one of the reasons for the vigourous second hand Birkin market, which are sometimes more expensive than their retail price. Hermès also don't do sales on Birkin bags which guarantees a stable resale value.

The Birkin bag is declined in several sizes.
The Birkin 40 in its original size (40x31 cm), ideal to carry everything with you thanks to its exceptional capacity.

The Birkin 35 and Birkin 30 are probably the most sought-after formats. A little lighter while keeping a nice carying capacity.

And finally the youngest, the Birkin 25, best used used as a stunning party bag.
