Hermes Birkin 25 Vivid Capucine Swift PHW Handbag in Box 2016

The Hermes Birkin was created in 1984 following a conversation between Jane Birkin and Hermes CEO Jean-Louis Dumas during a flight from Paris to London. Conceived around the practical needs of an active woman, the design has remained in virtually unchanged production ever since. Its hand-stitched double-bar closure, twin rolled top handles, and signature lock-and-key hardware are among the most recognisable elements in luxury goods.

Swift leather is a smooth, fine-grained calfskin with a subtle sheen that accepts dye very deeply, producing vibrant, saturated colours. While it marks more readily than pebbled alternatives, it is prized for the brightness and precision of its surface finish. The piece is complemented by palladium-plated hardware — a bright, cool-toned silver finish. At 25cm, this format offers a compact, refined silhouette suited to daywear and evening use alike.

Presented in pre-owned condition from 2016 and accompanied by original box, dust bag, raincoat, lock, keys, clochette.
