This vintage Hermès Birkin 35 in black Togo leather with palladium-plated hardware is an elegant choice for boardroom days and polished city breaks. Dual rolled handles and a secure turn-lock flap keep essentials close, while the tonal leather lining with one zip pocket and one slip pocket adds order - perfect from morning meetings to dinner reservations.
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 this Birkin 35 and how is it carried? A: Approx. 35 × 26 × 18 cm with a handle drop of about 12 cm. It is designed to be hand‑held or carried in the crook of the arm; it does not come with or support a shoulder strap.
Q: What typically fits inside, and will a 13‑inch laptop go in? A: A 13‑inch laptop fits horizontally along with A4 documents, a tablet, wallet, phone, small pouch and a water bottle. Capacity depends on how you organise your items—please refer to the Measurements above for exact dimensions and avoid over‑stuffing to preserve shape.
Q: How heavy is a Birkin 35 in Togo leather? A: As a guide, a Birkin 35 in Togo leather weighs around 1.0–1.1 kg empty. Actual weight can vary slightly by leather batch and hardware.
Q: What is Togo leather and how does it wear over time? A: Togo is a grained calfskin known for its pebbled texture, scratch resistance and good structure. It softens gently with use and may develop a light, natural slouch while generally holding its silhouette. Wipe with a soft cloth, avoid excessive moisture and oils, and store properly to maintain its look.
Q: Is the Birkin 35 suitable for work or travel, and is it cabin‑friendly? A: Many use the 35 as a work or travel bag due to its capacity. It is typically carried on board as a personal handbag; policies vary by airline, so please check your carrier’s rules. In flight, keep it protected in its dust bag and either place it carefully under the seat in front or in the overhead bin with supervision to avoid pressure from other luggage.
Q: What does the stamp “Square H (2004)” mean? A: Hermès uses a blind‑stamp system to indicate production year. An H inside a square corresponds to 2004. Location and format of the stamp can vary by model and era and may appear alongside internal craftsman/workshop codes.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this listing: dust bag, clochette, padlock and keys. If an item (for example, box or rain cover) is not mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: Do the padlock and keys have matching numbers, and what should I expect from the hardware? A: Hermès locks and keys typically share matching number engravings. The palladium‑plated hardware is corrosion‑resistant and silver‑toned; fine hairline scratches are normal with wear. Avoid abrasive polishing; wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Q: How should I store and care for this Birkin 35 Togo? A: Store upright in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Lightly stuff (e.g., with acid‑free tissue or a bag pillow) to support the shape, and avoid hanging by the handles. If the leather gets wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. A lightweight felt organiser can help maintain structure during use.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Each piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, blind‑stamp year code, and hardware engravings and weight. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
