Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Hermès Birkin? A: This is the Birkin 35. Its measurements are approximately 35 × 25.5 × 17.5 cm, with a handle drop of about 10 cm. It is a roomy classic size that generally fits daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, a pouch, a notebook and other small accessories.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: No. This Birkin 35 has dual rolled leather handles and no shoulder strap, so it is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: What leather is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted in brown Box calf leather with pink piping. Box calf is known for its smooth, glossy and structured finish, which gives the bag an especially polished vintage look.
Q: Does Box calf leather scratch easily? A: Box calf is a beautiful heritage leather, but it is less forgiving than grained leathers and can show surface scratches more readily. On this bag, visible scratches on the leather are already noted in the condition report, which is normal for a vintage Box calf piece.
Q: What does the Square I stamp mean? A: The Square I blind stamp indicates a 2005 production year. On vintage Hermès bags, the blind stamp is one of the key identifiers collectors use to date the piece.
Q: What is the interior like? A: This bag has a pink leather lining with internal pockets, offering structure and organisation for smaller essentials. It closes with the classic Hermès turn-lock fastening.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information lists the following inclusions: box, dust bag, clochette, padlock, keys and rain protection.
Q: What condition is this Birkin in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows visible scratches on the leather, the interior has light scratches on the lining, and the palladium hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Box calf Birkin? A: Handle it with care and avoid rain, prolonged sunlight, heat, oils and overfilling. Store it in a dry place, ideally in its dust bag or box and lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Avoid applying household leather products; specialist aftercare is usually the safest option for Hermès leather.
