Hermès Birkin 20 Sellier Faubourg Midnight Matte Alligator PVD Hardware
Hermès Birkin 20 Sellier Faubourg Midnight Matte Alligator PVD Hardware
The Faubourg Birkin renders the facade of 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the Hermès flagship, as a Birkin 20 Sellier: the first Birkin ever produced at 20cm, built in architectural marquetry from five leathers. The series launched in 2019 with the Day and Night editions; the Midnight followed in 2021, translating the facade into the SO BLACK register with blacked-out PVD hardware. Collecting the original four editions, Day, Night, Midnight, and Snow, is known among collectors as completing the Faubourg Square.
The Midnight construction maps the building in Noir: Matte Alligator across the flap and handles, Madame calfskin as the brick body and base, Sombrero on the trim and window frames. Against the black field, the window panes glow in Jaune Ambre Swift, the boutique's lit windows after dark, and the awnings carry Orange H Swift, with the clochette cut as a miniature Hermès shopping bag. The PVD hardware removes the last metallic contrast, leaving the facade's color story (black architecture, lit windows, orange canopies) as the entire visual event.

Collector's Insight:
The Faubourg sits alongside the Himalaya at the top of modern Birkin collecting, and within the series the Midnight draws two distinct buyer groups: collectors completing the Faubourg Square and collectors of the SO BLACK PVD lineage, the only place the two traditions intersect. Each edition is produced in extremely small quantities with multi-workshop construction, and the Midnight's exotic components place it under the same allocation and CITES regime as full alligator Birkins.
Resale Insight:
Faubourg Birkins trade at multiples of retail with auction records as the primary pricing reference, and the Midnight carries a distinct premium within the series because PVD hardware condition adds a scarcity filter: the coating records wear and cannot be refinished, so pristine examples with intact PVD represent a fraction of an already minimal supply. Full set with CITES documentation supports the global buyer pool this tier requires.

JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain is hand-knotted from up to 60 varieties of natural semi-precious stones strung between lobster-clasp hardware at each end. The clasp configuration attaches directly to the sangle hardware of Hermès bags and converts the bag to crossbody or shoulder wear. The chain also functions independently as a long necklace without a bag attached.
Documented stone varieties include amethyst, apatite, carnelian, citrine, emerald, labradorite, lemon quartz, peach moonstone, peridot, Peruvian opal, pink moonstone, prehnite, rose quartz, ruby, sunstone, and tourmaline. Each stone is individually hand-knotted between adjacent stones, securing the strand against bead loss in the event of any single break. Stones are sorted into four documented colorways: Rainbow, Natural, Turquoise, and Malachite. Exact stone composition within each colorway varies by piece due to the natural variation of the source materials.
Standard length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a crossbody drop appropriate for Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller, including the Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18 and 24, and Birkin 25. The chain can be doubled to produce a shorter shoulder drop or wrist-wrap carry, and worn as a standalone necklace at full length. Hardware (Gold or Palladium clasp) is selected at order.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
Material: Semi-Precious Stones, Hand-Knotted
Hardware: Gold or Palladium clasp (selected at order)
Colorways: Rainbow / Natural / Turquoise / Malachite
Recommended For: Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller (Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18, Constance 24, Birkin 25)
Production: Hand-knotted, 7-10 business days
Note: Each chain is unique. Stones fall within the selected colorway range; exact composition varies by piece.
Styling Notes:
The chain pairs with the full JaneFinds accessory chain collection for coordinated multi-chain layering. Standard wear is single-strand crossbody; doubling produces a shorter shoulder carry. The lobster-clasp configuration matches Hermès sangle hardware proportions and does not require additional adapters.

JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain converts top-handle carry of Hermès Kelly and Mini Kelly bags into crossbody or shoulder wear without altering the bag. Cuban link is a flat, twist-pattern chain construction: each link rotates 90 degrees relative to its neighbors and interlocks tightly, producing a chain that lays flush against the body rather than twisting or rolling at the strap line. The pattern is the standard reference for flat-laying chainwork and remains the most stable shoulder-strap chain construction for weighted top-handle bags.
Hardware finish is offered in Gold or Palladium to match Hermès hardware on the carrying bag. Each chain terminates in a lobster clasp at one end and a spring ring at the other, attaching directly to the Kelly's sangle D-rings without adapters. Two clip sizes are offered: Standard Clip for Kelly 25, 28, 32, and 35; Small Clip for Mini Kelly 20 II, Vintage Mini Kelly, and Mini Bolide. Link gauge is selected as Wide or Narrow at order; Wide produces a heavier, more visually present chain, Narrow a finer line.
Standard chain length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a standard crossbody drop for most Kelly sizes. The chain can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or worn standalone as a necklace. Pairs with the JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain and other accessory chain collection pieces for layered styling.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
