A near unused Hermès Birkin 25 in Rose Shocking Swift calfskin with palladium hardware, rated 9 inside and out, with padlock, keys and clochette.
The Piece
Hermès first made the Birkin in 1984. The 25 cm size keeps the rolled handles, strapped flap, turn-lock and padlock of the full-size bag in a body small enough to carry in the hand.
Swift is a calfskin with a fine, almost invisible grain and a soft, matt finish. Rose Shocking is one of the boldest pinks Hermès offers, a saturated fuchsia set off by cool palladium hardware.
The interior is lined in matching pink leather, with one zipped pocket and one open pocket. Under the flap, the Hermès Paris Made in France stamp is pressed in silver.
It weighs about 605 g. The padlock, two keys and clochette are included.
Reserve this piece: at this value it is invoiced privately, by bank transfer with 3% off or by Wise.
