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 BagsThe small square scales of the shiny Porosus crocodile ripple across the deep blue surface of the bag. This rare color has been maintained well since its production in 2010. Paired with warm gold hardware, the effect could not be more luxurious. Porosus 35cm Birkins have been getting harder to find, especially in such striking shades.
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:
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 35 is among the most consistently traded formats in the resale market. In a durable leather like Shiny Porosus Crocodile, it is built to be carried regularly rather than saved for occasions.
