The story behind the Birkin
Originated in 1984 from a conversation between Jane Birkin and Hermès Executive Chairman Jean-Louis Dumas; its structural lineage traces to the Haut à Courroies. Familiar sizes are 25, 30, 35 and 40 cm, alongside miniature, shoulder and travel versions, in both Retourné and Sellier construction.
Discover Hermès Birkin BagsReserved for the Maison’s most valued clients, this bespoke Birkin 30 is a true original. The exterior, rendered in electrifying Rose Scheherazade Porosus Crocodile, radiates bold elegance and collector status. Inside, a vibrant Cassis lining delivers a refined contrast, amplifying its singular appeal. Completed in 2020 after an extended wait, this bag features meticulous handcraft, discreet 'KI' initials on the clochette, and is preserved in immaculate condition with most hardware still plastic-wrapped. The unique pairing of Rose Scheherazade, Hermès’ most iconic, jewel-toned pink, and the deeply saturated Cassis interior showcases the brand’s unmatched command of color, skin, and artistry.
Resale Insight: HSS Rose Scheherazade Birkins routinely command a premium on the resale market, particularly in pristine condition with protective plastics. The custom color pairing, year, and documented provenance ensure this piece’s lasting desirability.
Collector's Insight:
Horseshoe Stamp confirms this as a Special Order, made to client specification through Hermès' allocation program. HSS pieces are not available for general purchase and require an established purchase history. Porosus Crocodile production is constrained by raw material scarcity and limited annual output. Allocation within Hermès exotic bag production is among the most selective in the house.
Resale Insight:
The Birkin 30 is among the most consistently traded formats in the resale market. In a durable leather like Porosus Crocodile, it is built to be carried regularly rather than saved for occasions.
