Very Good Condition
OUT OF STOCK
Ideal for a polished day in the city, this vintage Hermès Birkin 35 in beige Togo leather with palladium-plated hardware brings refined poise to business meetings and elegant lunches. In very good condition, its dual rolled handles and classic turn-lock make it an effortless companion from day to evening, adding timeless Hermès sophistication to any look.
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 typically fits inside the Hermès Birkin 35? A: The Birkin 35 is a spacious workhorse, ideal for travel or daily office use. It comfortably holds A4 documents, a tablet or 13-inch laptop, a large cosmetics pouch, a continental wallet, a water bottle, keys and sunglasses. Its generous depth makes it significantly roomier than the Birkin 30.
Q: Will a laptop fit inside this bag? A: Yes, a standard 13-inch laptop (such as a MacBook Air or Pro) fits comfortably. Some slim 15-inch laptops may fit, but we recommend measuring your device against the bag’s dimensions (approx. 35 cm width) to ensure it sits flat without distorting the leather.
Q: Can I wear the Birkin 35 on my shoulder? A: The Birkin is designed primarily as a handbag or for carrying in the crook of the arm. The double rolled handles have a drop of approximately 10–11 cm, which is generally too tight for shoulder wear. It does not come with a long shoulder strap.
Q: What are the characteristics of Togo leather? A: Togo is one of the most popular and durable leathers for the Birkin. It is a grained male calfskin known for its resistance to scratches and its ability to hold the bag’s shape well while allowing for a gentle slouch over time. It has a matte finish and a distinct vertical grain.
Q: Is this bag heavy? A: The Birkin 35 in Togo leather weighs approximately 1.1 to 1.3 kg when empty. While Togo is lighter than some other grains (like Clemence), the bag can become quite heavy when fully packed with a laptop and other essentials.
Q: How do I close the bag securely? A: The bag features the iconic Hermès flap closure with a turn-lock (touret) and two side straps (sangles). You can lock it with the included padlock for security. However, for easy access, many owners tuck the flap inside and leave the straps open—often referred to as the “tote” look.
Q: What does the 'Square D' serial number mean? A: Hermès uses a “blind stamp” code to indicate the year of manufacture. A letter ‘D’ inside a square denotes that this specific piece was crafted in 2000. On Birkins from this era, the stamp is typically found on the reverse of one of the leather straps (sangles).
Q: How should I care for the Togo leather and shape? A: Store the bag upright, stuffed with acid-free tissue or a bag pillow to maintain its structure, and keep it in its dust bag away from light and humidity. Avoid hanging it by the handles for long periods. If the leather gets wet, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth—never rub.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes the padlock, two keys and the leather clochette (key holder). Please check the “Accessories” field for the complete list; if an item like a dust bag or box isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We check the leather quality, stitching consistency, hardware finish (in this case, Palladium-plated), and the blind stamp configuration. We stand behind the authenticity of every vintage piece we sell.
