Hermès Hermes Birkin 35 Arlequin Clemence Palladium Hardware

Hermès Birkin 35 Arlequin Clemence Palladium Hardware

The Hermès Birkin 35 Arlequin in Clemence with Palladium Hardware is a limited edition release featuring multicolor patchwork panels. The Arlequin design uses six different Hermès colors arranged asymmetrically across the bag's surface: Orange, Sanguine (blood red), Gold (camel), Bleu Lin (pale greyish-blue), Bleu Hydra (turquoise-blue), and Etain (grey). Each panel is a separate piece of leather sewn together to create the patchwork effect.

Crafted in Clemence leather, a natural-grain calfskin with soft hand and relaxed structure. Palladium hardware provides neutral contrast against the multicolor leather. The Arlequin was produced in limited quantities around 2013-2014, primarily in the 35cm size. This example was produced in 2013 with Q Square stamp and is in Very Good condition showing age-appropriate wear for an 11-year-old bag.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The Arlequin Birkin was produced in limited quantities as a special edition, making it significantly rarer than standard production Birkins. The multicolor patchwork is polarizing—some collectors seek it specifically for its bold visual impact, others avoid it preferring single-color bags. The six-color combination uses classic Hermès shades rather than seasonal colors, which creates broader appeal. Very Good condition (3) at this age reflects honest wear and is appropriate for an 11-year-old bag. The 35cm size was the primary format for Arlequin production.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
Arlequin Birkins trade at premiums over standard Clemence Birkins due to limited production, though the premium varies based on buyer preferences for multicolor versus single-color bags. The Arlequin appeals to collectors seeking statement pieces rather than subtle luxury. Very Good condition affects pricing—this trades below pristine Arlequin examples but still commands premiums over standard 35cm Birkins in similar condition. Market demand is narrower than neutral Birkins but consistent among collectors who specifically seek limited editions. The 2013 production date places this in the pre-significant price increase era.
