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 BagsBirkin 25 Sellier Faubourg in Ébène Barenia Faubourg with palladium hardware. The Faubourg Birkin reproduces the façade of 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Hermès' Paris flagship, in layered leather appliqué across the front panel. Windows, awnings, doors, and architectural moldings are constructed from multiple leather types and colors cut and assembled in relief, creating a three-dimensional surface that stands away from the bag's body. The result is a Birkin that functions as a built object rather than a flat surface.
The base leather is Barenia Faubourg in Ébène, a dark brown vegetable-tanned calfskin that develops patina over time. Barenia Faubourg is a refined version of classic Barenia with a smoother hand. Sellier construction with exterior stitching and rigid edges. Palladium hardware. The Faubourg Birkin was produced beginning around 2019 in a small number of colorways including Ébène, Snow, and Midnight. A stamp, 2017 production. Pristine condition. Full set.
Collector's Insight:
The Birkin 25 represents the core of the Hermès handbag program. Production quantities are not disclosed by the house, and retail acquisition requires an established purchase history with a Hermès boutique.
Resale Insight:
The Birkin 25 is among the most consistently traded formats in the resale market. In a durable leather like Barenia Faubourg, it is built to be carried regularly rather than saved for occasions.
