Hermès HSS Birkin 40 Black Togo with Blue Royal Interior Gold Hardware
Hermès Birkin 40 Special Order Black Togo Blue Royal Interior Gold Hardware
The Hermès Birkin 40 Special Order (HSS) in Black Togo with Blue Royal interior represents a subtle approach to custom luxury. Known as a Verso configuration, this bag appears as a classic Black Birkin from the exterior, reserving the contrasting Blue Royal leather for the interior lining. This design choice appeals to clients who require a professional, understated appearance for daily use but desire a personal touch of color known only to them. The exterior is crafted from Togo leather, a grained calfskin prized for its scratch resistance and ability to soften slightly over time without losing its shape.
The 40cm size is the largest standard Birkin produced, originally designed as a travel bag. It offers significant capacity, making it a preferred choice for male collectors or as a weekender. The Gold Hardware adds a traditional, warm contrast to the black leather, adhering to the most classic Hermès aesthetic. This example bears the Horseshoe Stamp next to the logo, certifying it as a custom creation, and carries a 2018 date stamp (C).

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The Birkin 40 has seen a resurgence in popularity as the "Big Bag" trend returns, but it remains a staple primarily for male collectors and those who use the bag for utility rather than ornamentation. Finding a Special Order in this size is uncommon, as most HSS allocations are currently used for 25cm and 30cm bags. The Black and Blue Royal combination is a sophisticated, masculine pairing that avoids the loudness of brighter HSS options.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
While the 40cm market is narrower than that of the 25cm or 30cm, it is highly stable. HSS examples in the 40cm size command a premium over standard Black Birkins because they offer uniqueness in a category often dominated by basic specifications. This specific configuration—neutral exterior, rich jewel-tone interior, and gold hardware—is the most liquid type of HSS, as it remains universally wearable while offering the "If You Know, You Know" status of the Horseshoe stamp.
