Hermès Birkin 35 Club Etain & Graphite Clemence Gris Fonce Lizard Permabrass Hardware
Hermès Birkin 35 Club Etain & Graphite Clemence Gris Fonce Lizard Permabrass Hardware
The Hermès Birkin 35 Club is a striking limited edition that reimagines the classic silhouette with a bold, athletic aesthetic, originally released following the Candy Collection. This 2012 creation features a sophisticated "Tri-Color" construction, blending two of the Maison's most beloved neutrals: **Etain** (Tin Grey) and **Graphite** (Dark Grey) in soft, matte **Clemence Leather**.
The defining feature of this collector's piece is the central vertical accent rendered in precious **Gris Fonce Niloticus Lizard**. This exotic trim elevates the bag, adding a glossy, intricate texture that contrasts beautifully with the large-grained Clemence. The ensemble is finished with rare **Permabrass Hardware** (Champagne Gold), a subtle, pale gold tone that perfectly warms the cool greys. It is a masterclass in understated luxury, mixing textures and tones for a sophisticated, monochromatic look.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The Club Birkin is a piece of modern Hermès history, showcasing the brand's willingness to experiment with mixed materials. It is effectively a sportier cousin to the "Touch" or "Grand Mariage" editions. Finding a Club Birkin in a 35cm size with Lizard trim is rare, as lizard is typically reserved for smaller goods due to the size of the skins. This "Greyscale" colorway is arguably the most wearable and timeless of the Club configurations.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
Limited edition Birkins with exotic elements are insulated from standard market trends. While the Club collection included many bright, "pop" colors, the neutral versions like this Etain/Graphite example are often more desirable on the secondary market because they are easier to style while still signaling "collector status." Permabrass hardware is also a value-add, as it is far less common than standard Gold or Palladium.

JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain is hand-knotted from up to 60 varieties of natural semi-precious stones strung between lobster-clasp hardware at each end. The clasp configuration attaches directly to the sangle hardware of Hermès bags and converts the bag to crossbody or shoulder wear. The chain also functions independently as a long necklace without a bag attached.
Documented stone varieties include amethyst, apatite, carnelian, citrine, emerald, labradorite, lemon quartz, peach moonstone, peridot, Peruvian opal, pink moonstone, prehnite, rose quartz, ruby, sunstone, and tourmaline. Each stone is individually hand-knotted between adjacent stones, securing the strand against bead loss in the event of any single break. Stones are sorted into four documented colorways: Rainbow, Natural, Turquoise, and Malachite. Exact stone composition within each colorway varies by piece due to the natural variation of the source materials.
Standard length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a crossbody drop appropriate for Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller, including the Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18 and 24, and Birkin 25. The chain can be doubled to produce a shorter shoulder drop or wrist-wrap carry, and worn as a standalone necklace at full length. Hardware (Gold or Palladium clasp) is selected at order.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
Material: Semi-Precious Stones, Hand-Knotted
Hardware: Gold or Palladium clasp (selected at order)
Colorways: Rainbow / Natural / Turquoise / Malachite
Recommended For: Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller (Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18, Constance 24, Birkin 25)
Production: Hand-knotted, 7-10 business days
Note: Each chain is unique. Stones fall within the selected colorway range; exact composition varies by piece.
Styling Notes:
The chain pairs with the full JaneFinds accessory chain collection for coordinated multi-chain layering. Standard wear is single-strand crossbody; doubling produces a shorter shoulder carry. The lobster-clasp configuration matches Hermès sangle hardware proportions and does not require additional adapters.

JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain converts top-handle carry of Hermès Kelly and Mini Kelly bags into crossbody or shoulder wear without altering the bag. Cuban link is a flat, twist-pattern chain construction: each link rotates 90 degrees relative to its neighbors and interlocks tightly, producing a chain that lays flush against the body rather than twisting or rolling at the strap line. The pattern is the standard reference for flat-laying chainwork and remains the most stable shoulder-strap chain construction for weighted top-handle bags.
Hardware finish is offered in Gold or Palladium to match Hermès hardware on the carrying bag. Each chain terminates in a lobster clasp at one end and a spring ring at the other, attaching directly to the Kelly's sangle D-rings without adapters. Two clip sizes are offered: Standard Clip for Kelly 25, 28, 32, and 35; Small Clip for Mini Kelly 20 II, Vintage Mini Kelly, and Mini Bolide. Link gauge is selected as Wide or Narrow at order; Wide produces a heavier, more visually present chain, Narrow a finer line.
Standard chain length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a standard crossbody drop for most Kelly sizes. The chain can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or worn standalone as a necklace. Pairs with the JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain and other accessory chain collection pieces for layered styling.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
