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 BagsPorosus crocodile, known for its small, uniform scales, carries the saturated color evenly and gives it depth, and gold hardware warms it.
The Birkin was designed in 1984 for Jane Birkin, and at 35 cm it is a full day bag. The turn-lock closure, front flap and sangles complete the classic configuration.
Collector's Insight:
Porosus crocodile is made in smaller quantities than calfskin, and saturated purples appear on it less often than neutrals.
Resale Insight:
The Birkin 35 is among the most consistently traded formats in the resale market. In a durable leather like porosus crocodile, it is built to be carried regularly rather than saved for occasions.
