* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Birkin 35? A: With measurements of approximately 35 x 25 x 18 cm, this is a roomy day bag. It will generally hold a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, cosmetic pouch, notebook or organiser, and other daily essentials. A slim small laptop or tablet may fit depending on its exact dimensions, so we recommend comparing your device with the Measurements shown on this page.
Q: Is the Birkin 35 a practical everyday size? A: Yes. The 35 is one of the roomier Birkin sizes and is often chosen for day-to-day use, work essentials, or light travel packing. It offers more capacity than smaller Birkin sizes while keeping the classic structured silhouette.
Q: What is Courchevel leather like? A: Courchevel is a vintage Hermès leather with a structured, embossed finish. It is appreciated for holding its shape well and for being more forgiving than many smooth leathers in daily use. As with most structured stamped leathers, corners and edges can show wear over time, so gentle handling is best.
Q: Is this bag vintage, and what does the Square A stamp mean? A: Yes. This bag is vintage, and the serial stamp is listed as Square A, which corresponds to 1997 production.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This Birkin is designed with dual top handles and no shoulder strap is listed in the product information. With a handle drop of approximately 10 cm, it is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this item lists a padlock, keys and clochette. If anything else is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: The overall condition is noted as good. Externally there is scuffing on the corners, the interior shows light traces of use, and the gold-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for and store a vintage Courchevel Birkin? A: Keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, rain, oils, ink and alcohol-based products. Do not overload the bag, and store it in a dry, temperate place with soft tissue inside to help maintain its shape. For vintage Hermès leather, gentle handling and specialist cleaning are recommended over home treatment products.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by in-house experts using detailed checks of leather, stitching, hardware, shape, stamps and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
