Hermès Birkin 40 Vert Anglais Box Calf Gold Hardware
Vert Anglais is the house's deep English hunting green. It reads nearly black in low light and shows its green under direct light, which is why photographs often mistake it for black.
In Box calf, polished and smooth, the dark green gains depth and a soft gleam, and gold hardware warms it. At 40 cm the Birkin is a true travel and work bag.

Collector's Insight:
A Box calf Birkin in a deep vintage green is a different proposition from current production: the leather, the color and the larger size all belong to an earlier period of the house.
Resale Insight:
Box shows scratches and press marks readily, though light marks can be polished, so buyers check the flap, corners and handles first; at 40 cm the base corners take the most wear.
