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 BagsBleu du Nord is a medium-light blue with slight gray undertones;lighter than Bleu Zellige, cooler than Bleu Glacier. The name translates to "Northern Blue," referencing Nordic sky tones. Swift leather is a fine-grained calfskin with soft hand and vivid color saturation, which makes blues particularly vibrant.
Palladium hardware provides cool-toned harmony with the blue leather. The 25cm size is the most liquid Birkin format. Produced in 2019 with D stamp and in Pristine condition with full set.
Collector's Insight:
Bleu du Nord appeared in 2019 as part of Hermès' seasonal color releases. Production was limited to specific years rather than continuous like house classics such as Blue Jean or Bleu Marine. The color appeals to collectors seeking modern blues that aren't as dark as navy or as pale as powder blue. Swift leather in light-medium blues shows the color's depth well due to the leather's saturation capability. Pristine condition from 2019 indicates careful storage rather than wear.
Resale Insight:
Birkin 25s in seasonal blues trade at premiums when the color is no longer in production. Bleu du Nord specifically appeals to buyers seeking contemporary blues with gray undertones rather than bright primary blues. Pristine condition with full set from recent production (2019) commands retail-plus pricing. Swift leather holds value well in the 25cm size due to the leather's softness and color vibrancy. Palladium hardware with cool-toned blues is a requested combination.
