Hermès Birkin 35 Grizzly Blue Thalassa Veau Doblis Suede & Permabrass Hardware
Hermès Birkin 35 Grizzly Blue Thalassa Veau Doblis Suede & Permabrass Hardware
The Hermès Birkin 35 "Grizzly" is a cult-favorite limited edition that celebrates the tactile beauty of raw luxury. Crafted from **Blue Thalassa Veau Doblis** (Suede), this bag offers a velvety, light-absorbing texture that is entirely unique in the Birkin lineup. The soft, unstructured body is framed by rigid **Swift leather** trim in a matching tone, giving the bag a graphic, architectural definition.
A defining feature of the Grizzly edition is the use of **Permabrass Hardware**. This rare "Champagne Gold" finish is lighter than standard Gold but warmer than Palladium, creating a sophisticated, muted glow that perfectly complements the matte finish of the suede. Unlike the rigid structure of a standard Birkin, the Grizzly is designed to soften and slouch, embodying a relaxed, "Boho-Luxe" aesthetic reminiscent of the style icons of the early 2010s. It is a bag that invites touch and wears its history beautifully.

JaneFinds Collector’s Insight:
The Grizzly Birkin occupies a unique niche in Hermès history. It was one of the first "deconstructed" limited editions, prioritizing texture over structure. Blue Thalassa is a particularly versatile color for this material, reading almost like a rich, saturated denim. It appeals to the collector who finds standard leather Birkins too formal and seeks something with an effortless, "lived-in" cool.
JaneFinds Resale Insight:
Suede Birkins are rare finds. While they require more care than Togo or Epsom, their scarcity drives value among advanced collectors who are missing this specific texture in their closet. The presence of Permabrass hardware is a significant value-add, as it is a favorite among hardware purists for its chameleon-like ability to mix with both silver and gold jewelry.
