Hermès Birkin 35 Blue Saphire Taurillon Novillo leather Palladium Hardware
Hermès Birkin 35 Blue Saphir Taurillon Novillo Palladium Hardware
This Hermès Birkin 35 is rendered in Blue Saphir, a deep, jewel-toned navy that captures the intensity of its gemstone namesake. The bag is crafted from Taurillon Novillo, a premium bull calfskin that serves as a sophisticated alternative to the ubiquitous Togo or Clemence. Novillo is distinguished by its ultra-fine natural grain and matte finish, but its true advantage lies in its physics: it is significantly lighter and more rigid than traditional leathers. This structural integrity allows the 35cm silhouette to maintain its architectural lines without the slouch often seen in softer skins.
Paired with cool Palladium hardware, the electric undertones of the Blue Saphir are sharpened, creating a modern, high-contrast aesthetic. Produced in 2020 (Stamp Y), this pristine example offers the capacity of a travel bag with the refined polish of a rigid handbag. It represents the perfect marriage of a heritage color with modern material innovation.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
Taurillon Novillo is widely considered a "connoisseur's leather." It absorbs dye with exceptional saturation, making colors like Blue Saphir appear richer and more vibrant than on Epsom. For the 35cm collector, the reduced weight of Novillo is a critical functional advantage, addressing the common complaint that large Birkins can become heavy. It offers the durability of bull leather with the structure of a Sellier piece.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
Blue Saphir is a "Foundational Blue" in the Hermès library, ranking alongside Blue Jean and Blue Marine in terms of historical significance. However, finding a pristine 2020 example in Novillo—a leather produced in far smaller quantities than Togo—adds a distinct layer of scarcity. This is a high-utility asset that balances investment potential with daily usability.
