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 BagsThis 25cm Sellier Birkin in Black Epsom with palladium hardware is a sought-after choice among Hermes collectors who appreciate the iconic design of the Birkin and the elegant nature of the Sellier Kelly. As one of Hermes' newer designs, this particular bag is rare and will surely become a timeless piece for decades to come. Despite being gently used a few times, there are only faint signs of wear on this bag as it embarks on its journey to becoming a cherished heirloom for generations.
Sellier construction uses external stitching without a turned edge, producing rigid, defined lines. The structured silhouette is more formal than the standard Retourne version and shows less relaxation over time. Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and one open pocket.
Collector's Insight:
The Birkin 25 in Black Epsom 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 25 is among the most consistently traded formats in the resale market. In a durable leather like Epsom, it is built to be carried regularly rather than saved for occasions.
