Hermès Birkin 35 Crinoline & Etoupe Clemence with Palladium Hardware - 2005, I Square
Intricately woven from natural horse-hair, the body of this Birkin displays a lovely pattern of neutral hues that weave together and form this hard-to-find vintage material known as Crinoline. Discontinued over a decade ago, this style of woven hairs from a horse’s tail is paired here in a 35cm Birkin with Etoupe Clemence leather and Palladium hardware, making for an Hermès bag even more deeply rooted in equestrian heritage than most. Carefully maintained, this bag is a deep-cut from the archives of vintage Birkins, an unusual piece that becomes rarer and rarer each year.

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.
