Created in 1984 by Jean-Louis Dumas following a meeting with actress Jane Birkin, the Birkin has become one of Hermès’ most iconic and coveted models. This 40-cm version retains the spacious and functional character of its original design, combining the softness and grainy texture of Clémence leather with the understated elegance of the palladium hardware. The elegant Gris Asphalte shade highlights the bag’s architectural lines and its timeless character, emblematic of the French house’s artisanal excellence and leatherworking tradition.
