The Birkin 40 in Gris Tourterelle Shiny Porosus Crocodile with Gold hardware. Porosus Crocodile is sourced from Australian saltwater crocodiles and is considered the finest crocodile skin available, distinguished by its small, symmetrical scales.

The 40cm is the larger proportioned silhouette. Interior is lined in matching Chèvre leather with one zip pocket and one open pocket. Signature turn-lock closure, front flap, and sangles complete the hardware configuration.

Collector's Insight:
Shiny Porosus Crocodile production is constrained by raw material scarcity and limited annual output. Allocation within Hermès exotic bag production is among the most selective in the house.

Resale Insight:
The Birkin 40 is among the most consistently traded formats in the resale market. In a durable skin like Shiny Porosus Crocodile, it is a piece that holds value exceptionally well through daily use.
