Possibly Unique
Excellent Condition
This bag is done in shiny Blue Roi Porosus Crocodile with an unusual blue denim body. It features two rolled crocodile handles, a flap and turnlock closure, and Palladium hardware. This Birkin is a gem for serious collectors. The combination of exotic skins with canvas or denim is extremely unusual, and this sophisticated blue combination is the only example to have come to market. Blue Roi, or 'Royal Blue' in French is one of the rarest and most desirable shades of blue, only produced in the early 2000's. An extremely special exotic bag like this from
Hermès will always feature exceptional skins with small square and symmetrical scales. Unlike other canvas bags from this period which have simplified interiors, this one in fully finished with Blue Roi Chevre lining, one zip pocket, and one suede lined slip pocket. It includes a lock, two keys and a matching clochette.
