Hermès Birkin 30 Sellier Gold Madame Grain leather 2020 Y Madame Grain Leather Palladium Hardware

For years now, Hermès has been tinkering with a new design for their iconic Birkin bag. As the classic Kelly is constructed in both Retourne and Sellier styles, the Birkin too is now being produced in an out-stitched Sellier construction to counterbalance the original design (do we call that the Retourne Birkin now?). The first example of this new construction came in 2014 as the 40cm Vache Hunter Sellier Birkin, which featured an unlined interior with a tethered zip pouch, and distinct stitches around the hardware on the bag’s face. Five years later, the maison’s master craftsmen perfected the design, releasing limited examples of both 25cm and 30cm Sellier Birkins. This store-fresh piece is one such example, and unlike the original version, today’s Sellier Birkins have fully lined interiors with all of the classic pockets we’ve come to expect. This 30 cm bag is triply special because of its color and material: Gold Madame leather, and a new leather with a subtle, ladylike pressed texture, daintier than classic Epsom, which is perfectly paired with Palladium hardware.

Sellier construction uses external stitching without a turned edge, producing rigid, defined lines. The structured silhouette is more formal than the standard Retourne version and shows less relaxation over time. Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and one open pocket.
