Hermès Birkin 40 Blue Thalassa Grizzly Suede, Swift Permabrass Hardware

dHermès Birkin 40 Grizzly Blue Thalassa Suede and Swift with Permabrass Hardware

This Hermès Grizzly Birkin 40 in elusive Blue Thalassa Veau Doblis suede is an extraordinary expression of scale, texture, and rarity. Most Grizzly Birkins were produced in 35cm and smaller formats—making this oversized 40cm example in suede a unicorn within the Hermès archive. It pairs velvety suede with Swift leather trim and warm Permabrass hardware, creating a rich, tactile composition that is both rugged and refined.

The Grizzly line celebrates raw luxury with inside-out construction and a patina-friendly finish that evolves over time. Here, the iconic Blue Thalassa suede offers a deep aquatic tone rarely seen in suede executions, amplified by the subtle sheen of Permabrass hardware. Inside, the bag is lined in signature herringbone toile with leather trim—combining utilitarian function with heritage elegance.

JaneFinds Collector’s Insight:

A Grizzly Birkin in 40cm is exceedingly rare—virtually never seen in the market. This oversized suede version in Blue Thalassa ranks among the most collectible Hermès texture experiments of the modern era. A major trophy piece for seasoned collectors who prioritize scale and rarity.

JaneFinds Resale Insight:

While suede bags are typically more delicate, their scarcity—especially in unusual sizes like 40cm—makes them high-value targets for top-tier Hermès buyers. This is one of the few known Grizzly 40s in private hands.
