Hermès Birkin 35 Arlequin Clemence Palladium Hardware

Birkin 35 in the Arlequin limited-edition configuration: six Hermès colors in Taurillon Clemence calfskin assembled as asymmetric patchwork panels. This colorway pairs Ultra Violet, Etain, Bleu Lin, Bleu Obscur, Etoupe, and Gold ; each panel is a separate piece of leather sewn together with seams visible at the junctions. Palladium hardware. Double rolled handles. Front flap with tournante closure, padlock, two keys, and clochette. Interior lined in Chèvre goatskin with one zip pocket and one flat pocket.

Clemence (Taurillon Clemence) is a natural-grain bull calfskin ; matte, soft to the touch, with a visible but irregular grain pattern. It is heavier than Togo and relaxes over time, developing a slight slouch in the body. The Arlequin's patchwork construction means each panel may develop its own patina and wear pattern independently, as the different dye colors absorb oils and light at different rates. Lighter panels (Bleu Lin, Etoupe) will show handling marks more readily than the darker panels (Ultra Violet, Bleu Obscur).

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The Arlequin (also spelled Harlequin) Birkin was produced as a limited edition in the 2012–2014 period, exclusively in the Birkin 35 size and exclusively in Clemence leather with palladium hardware. Multiple six-color combinations were produced ; this Ultra Violet/Etain/Bleu Lin/Bleu Obscur/Etoupe/Gold configuration is one of at least two documented Arlequin colorways. All six colors in each configuration are drawn from the Hermès permanent or semi-permanent palette rather than seasonal colors. The color blocking is asymmetric by design ; the front, back, sides, and base each display different panel arrangements, so the bag reads differently from each angle. The Arlequin was not available through standard boutique allocation ; it was distributed as a limited-edition special piece.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
Arlequin Birkins were a single limited-production run with no subsequent reissue. This colorway skews cooler than the Orange/Sanguine configuration, with purple, grey, and blue tones balanced by Etoupe and Gold as warm anchors. The six-panel patchwork divides collectors ; demand is narrower than for single-color Birkins but consistent among those seeking limited-edition pieces. Clemence at this age will have developed some softening in the body panels ; this is characteristic of the leather, not a defect. The 35 cm was the only size produced for the Arlequin.
