Hermès JPG Shoulder Birkin II 42 Vermillion Clemence Palladium Hardware
Hermès JPG Shoulder Birkin 42 II Vermillion Clemence Palladium Hardware
This Hermès JPG Shoulder Birkin II in Vermillion Clemence leather is a bold reinterpretation of an iconic design. Its vibrant red hue commands attention, while the soft Clemence leather speaks to a relaxed refinement. The bag's elongated shape is Jean-Paul Gaultier's take on a Birkin cut in half. Through the last half of the 2000's the JPG Birkin was a collector favorite, until its discontinuation around 2013. This 2012 version has been kept in exceptional condition, and recently Hermes began teasing the rerelease of an updated JPG Birkin, heralding a new era of popularity for this style that sits just around the corner.
The 42cm is the balanced silhouette. Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and one open pocket. Signature turn-lock closure, front flap, and sangles complete the hardware configuration.
Condition: 2 – Excellent
Color: Vermillion

Collector's Insight: The Birkin 42 in Vermillion Clemence represents the core of the Hermès handbag program. Production quantities are not disclosed by the house, and retail acquisition requires an established purchase history with a Hermès boutique.
Resale Insight: The Birkin 42 is among the most consistently traded formats in the resale market. In a durable leather like Clemence, it is built to be carried regularly rather than saved for occasions.
