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 mesmerizing deep blue tone, imbued with a touch of periwinkle, has captivated the hearts of numerous Hermès aficionados. The Birkin 30 presented here exhibits the original version of this bewitching color. Meticulously fashioned from pliable Clemence leather, the bag has elegantly softened over time, exuding a relaxed yet functional allure. Slight indications of use, such as minimal corner scuffs and barely noticeable hardware scratches, enhance the Birkin's cherished appearance, making it a perfect option for those in search of a stress-free, everyday accessory.
The 30cm is the balanced silhouette valued for its capacity as a functional day bag. 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.

The Birkin 30 in Blue Brighton 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:
