Hermès Ghillies Birkin 35 Matte Ebene Alligator & Swift with Palladium Hardware
Hermès Birkin 35 Ghillies Matte Ebene Alligator & Swift Leather Palladium Hardware
The Hermès Birkin 35 Ghillies is a rare and sophisticated iteration of the iconic tote, merging the Maison's equestrian roots with the decorative "brogue" detailing of Scottish heritage. This exceptional 2016 example represents the pinnacle of the Ghillies line, featuring a luxurious body crafted from Matte Mississippiensis Alligator. The exotic skin is rendered in Ebene (Ebony), a deep, complex dark brown that features a velvet-like, non-reflective finish, allowing the natural square scales of the alligator to take center stage.
Framing this exotic center is the signature Ghillies trim, executed in smooth Ebene Swift Leather. The intricate serrated edges and perforation of the trim create a subtle, textural dialogue with the geometric patterns of the alligator scales. Finished with cool Palladium Hardware, the combination is understated yet undeniably powerful—a "quiet luxury" masterpiece that reveals its complexity only upon closer inspection.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
Ghillies Birkins are rare, but "Exotic Ghillies" are in a league of their own. The pairing of Matte Alligator with the brogue detailing is a technical feat, requiring the artisan to balance two very different materials. Ebene is a "forever" color—warmer than black but just as versatile. This bag appeals to the collector who appreciates the "Grand Mariage" aesthetic but prefers a monochromatic, streamlined look over high-contrast versions.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
Matte Alligator is one of the most expensive and desirable finishes in the Hermès library. When applied to a limited edition silhouette like the Ghillies, it creates an asset with significant investment potential. These bags are produced in such limited numbers that they rarely come to market, and when they do, they command premiums well above standard exotic Birkins due to their unique "semi-bespoke" character.
