Hermès Birkin 30 Rouge Vif Ardennes Gold Hardware - Square E
Highly desirable among collectors, a super rare Rouge Vif 30cm Birkin in discontinued Ardennes leather. Vachette Grainee des Ardennes is a processed pressed leather crafted from a malf calf raised in the Ardennes region (Northern France to Southern Belgium). Ardennes leather is very sturdy and holds its shape surprisingly well, complete with thick pressed grains and a slight sheen. Vache Ardennes is quite thick and structured (it does not slouch or flop) and is water and scratch resistant.
Hermès collectors consider this leather to be a "work horse" and can stand the test of time, very hard to find and is no longer in production. This example is in Good condition with visible swirl marks on the hardware signs of wear on the leather.

The term "hardware" refers to the metallic parts of the bag, such as the buckle hardware, base studs, lock and keys and/or strap, which are plated with a colored finish (e.g. gold, silver, palladium). The terms refer to the tone or color of the hardware and not the actual material used. If hardware is composed of precious solid metals this will be referenced in the description.
