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 BagsIt is known for its softness, flexibility, and resistance to scratching, making it ideal for use in Hermes' handbags, belts, and other accessories. The leather is typically tanned using vegetable dyes, giving it a natural and elegant appearance. It is also treated with a special wax coating to make it water-resistant and easy to maintain. Overall, Clemence leather is considered to be one of the finest and most sought-after materials used by Hermes.
The 35cm is the original size designed for Jane Birkin in 1984, balanced silhouette valued for its capacity as a functional day bag. Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and one open pocket. Signature turn-lock closure, front flap, and sangles complete the hardware configuration.
Collector's Insight:
The Birkin 35 in Nata Clemence 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 35 is among the most consistently traded formats in the resale market. In a durable leather like Clemence, it is built to be carried regularly rather than saved for occasions.
