Birkin Shadow

Gold / Swift Leather · 35cm · Palladium Hardware
There are Birkins. And then there is the Shadow.

Designed in 2009 by Jean Paul Gaultier during his tenure as Creative Director of Hermès — the Shadow removes every piece of hardware and sculpts the sangles, the lock, the flap directly into the Swift leather itself. A trompe-l'oeil that rewards those who look closely.

The only Birkin ever constructed on a completely distinct chassis. Produced twice in its entire history: 2009 and 2021. In this condition, with original box — fewer than 5 examples appear on the global market in any given year.

Access to a Birkin requires years of relationship with Hermès. This piece requires none.

Birkin 35

Bleu Saint-Cyr / Togo Leather · 35cm · Palladium Hardware
The original. The one that started everything.

The Birkin 35 was the very first size ever produced — born in 1984 from a sketch on an airplane sick bag. For more than 30 years it was the default Hermès size — the perfect balance between structure and function.

Bleu Saint-Cyr — a colour so precise, so particular, that Hermès named it after a street. Against the pebbled Togo leather it becomes something luminous. Every single original protective seal remains intact. This bag has never been carried. Not once. Currently, fewer than 2 examples in this colour exist on the global secondary market.
