Hermès Shadow Birkin 35 Gold Swift Palladium Hardware - 2019, D
$54,995.00
Jean-Paul Gaultier’s tenure at
Hermès was a time of unmatched creativity. One of the French master’s most celebrated interpretations of the Birkin bag is the Shadow Birkin, a limited edition initially produced in 2009 and 2010 featuring the iconic Birkin design embossed onto smooth Swift leather and rendered into a open-top tote bag perfectly proportioned with the original creating an incredible effect: the hint of a Birkin. This past year
Hermès has re-released an extremely limited number of these Shadow Birkins in 35cm. This example, in Gold Swift leather, is in pristine store-fresh condition. The simple embossed clochette on the rear of the bag completes the design, along with snap-ended sangles that slide inside the front of the bag to allow for a bit of extra security. These bags hold a special place in
Hermès collections, as they’re the only ‘Birkins’ that have a completely different structure from any other Birkin bags.

The term "hardware" refers to the metallic parts of the bag, such as the buckle hardware, base studs, lock and keys and/or strap, which are plated with a colored finish (e.g. gold, silver, palladium). The terms refer to the tone or color of the hardware and not the actual material used. If hardware is composed of precious solid metals this will be referenced in the description.
