Its dual rolled handles and secure turn-lock flap make it an elegant companion from office meetings to weekend city breaks, effortlessly elevating tailored looks and monochrome ensembles.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* 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 are the measurements of the Birkin 35 and what typically fits inside? A: The Birkin 35 measures approximately 35 × 25 × 18 cm. It comfortably fits A4 documents, a tablet, a water bottle and, for many users, a 13-inch laptop, plus daily essentials like a long wallet and cosmetics pouch. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack and whether you use a bag organiser.
Q: Does this Birkin come with a shoulder strap? A: No. The classic Birkin design is intended to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm via its dual rolled handles (approx. 10 cm drop). It does not include strap loops or a detachable strap; shoulder-strap versions are extremely rare historical exceptions.
Q: How heavy is a Birkin 35 in Togo leather? A: Weight varies by leather and hardware, but a Birkin 35 in Togo is typically around 1.0–1.3 kg empty. It will feel more substantial once filled with everyday items, so consider your load if you plan to carry a laptop or water bottle.
Q: What is Hermès Togo leather and how does it wear? A: Togo is a grained calfskin with a pronounced pebble and light veining. It is valued for being relatively lightweight and scratch-resistant, developing a gentle, relaxed drape over time while maintaining good structure. Care by wiping with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoiding oils/harsh cleaners and prolonged direct sunlight or heat.
Q: What does the Square G stamp mean on this bag? A: The blind stamp with a letter inside a square indicates the year of manufacture. Square G corresponds to 2003. Stamps are helpful dating markers but are only one part of a broader authentication process performed by experts.
Q: Which accessories are included with this item? A: This piece includes a dust bag, clochette, keys, padlock and a rain cover. The clochette houses the keys and loops around a handle; the padlock can be attached to the turn-lock when desired. Only the items listed here are included.
Q: Is the gold hardware solid gold? How should I care for it? A: Hermès typically uses gold-plated or palladium-plated hardware, not solid gold. Fine hairline marks are normal with use. To minimise visible scratches, wipe gently with a clean microfibre cloth and avoid abrasive polishes; store the bag so hardware doesn’t rub against other metal objects.
Q: How should I store and care for this Birkin when not in use? A: Store in its dust bag, loosely stuffed to maintain shape, with handles upright. Keep in a cool, dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight. Avoid overloading to prevent stretching, and consider a lightweight organiser to support the base and protect the lining.
Q: Does this bag include a rain cover and should I use it? A: Yes, a rain cover is included with this specific piece. Use it to shield the bag during unexpected showers, then remove it and allow the leather to air-dry at room temperature. Do not store the bag while covered, as trapped moisture can harm leather and hardware.
Q: Can Hermès service this bag in the future? A: Yes. Through Hermès boutiques, the brand offers maintenance and restoration (often called the Hermès Spa), such as stitching reinforcement, edge refinishing and hardware work. Lead times vary by location; interior cleaning is generally not performed.
