Description
There is perhaps no bag more iconic to Hermès than the Birkin. Prized for its exclusivity, actress Jane Birkin debuted the eponymous bag in 1984. This Birkin 35 cm in Togo calfskin leather is - like all Birkins - the product of one single artisan. (Togo leather is known for its fine grain, soft texture, and natural resistance to scratches, making it one of the most durable and popular leathers used by Hermès.) At 35 cm, this bag is the medium size member of the Birkin family. It would also make a smart investment piece, given the bag's scarcity and the costliness of its materials.
Condition: Great
Overall: Please note that the previous owner had the bag painted/touched up, and there is evidence in the interior that the bag has been painted. There are light scratches on tips of exterior feet. There is a small black mark on the the bottom of the interior. The gold foil text on the front of the bag is faded. This is still a great investment bag in a very desirable colour, particularly with gold hardware.
Accessories: Includes clochette, lock and keys, dustbag, & removable insert.
