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 BagsCrocus body with Blue Lin contrast on handles, sangles, clochette, and piping. Saturated purple against soft periwinkle-lavender; the combination reads as tonal variation within the blue-violet spectrum rather than competing colors. Gold hardware warms the cool palette.
Epsom's pressed grain holds both colors consistently; the texture unifies the bicolor construction. Interior lined in Blue Lin Chèvre. HSS designation indicates client-specified combination unavailable through standard production.
Collector's Insight:
Crocus with Blue Lin creates a purple-on-purple effect; the contrast is subtle rather than stark. HSS bicolor configurations in the same color family produce sophistication that high-contrast pairings don't achieve. Birkin 35 provides capacity that smaller sizes lack; the HSS provenance elevates standard production.
Resale Insight:
HSS Birkins trade above standard equivalents; bicolor configurations in tonal palettes appeal to collectors seeking uniqueness with wearability. Crocus has developed collector interest since its introduction; the Blue Lin pairing is specific to this special order.
