Made to last with fine leather, expert stitching and fabric an Hermes is a gateway to an exclusive club of wealth, status and power, neatly packaged in a hard to miss iconic orange box with brown trim. The Hermes bag has become such a bastion of grandeur that the wife of house of Gucci owner Francois Pinault carried the famed Birkin bag to Paris fashion show, instead of a Gucci. This coveted tote is one of the Birkin’s most sought after sizes and was inspired by a chance meeting between British actress Jane Birkin and Jean-Louis Dumas, the great grandson of the original Hermes, who sketched the design out on a sick bag as they were on a flight between Paris and London. Birkin, who gets an annual payment from Hermes for use of her name, which she donates to charity, dresses up her bag with stickers, scarves and other trinkets. You can look forward to doing the same if you get this classic black Birkin 35, one of the most popular Birkins that Hermes offers. This black Birkin is crafted in textured black Togo calfskin leather with 18k gold hardware. It features a front toggle closure, a signature clochette lock with two keys, double rolled handles and tonal stitching. The leather-lined interior includes a zipper and patch pocket.
