Birkin 35 · gold HW

By darkseerdruh · Catalogued June 2026

Designed in 1984 after Hermès then-CEO Jean-Louis Dumas sketched a spacious rectangular holdall for actress and singer Jane Birkin during a commercial flight (commonly cited as 1983/1984; exact year has some variance across sources, with Hermès and most retrospectives settling on 1984). Rectangular, structured silhouette with double rolled top handles, a single wide flap, and a signature front swing lock and clochette (key fob). Sourced as one of the most recognized status symbols in luxury fashion, with multi-year waitlists historically required at retail.

The Hermès Birkin Birkin 35 is a Togo leather structured bag produced 1984–present, originally retailing around $12,700. It measures 25 cm (9.8 in) high, 35 cm (13.8 in) wide, 18 cm (7.1 in) deep. Authentication: Same Togo grain and saddle-stitch checks as Birkin 30; at 35cm the bag should feel noticeably more substantial/heavier in hardware and leather volume than the 30.
