Hermès Birkin 35 Retourne in Ardennes Leather.
Who could have imagined that one of the most coveted objects of recent decades would be born in the sky, in 1984, on a flight from Paris to London? British actress Jane Birkin, sitting next to Jean-Louis Dumas, Executive Chairman of Hermès (1978-2006), was complaining that she couldn't find a bag suitable for her needs as a young mother.
The Birkin is available in a rare heritage leather with unique character. Entirely vegetable-tanned natural cowhide has an exceptionally transparent finish that gains a patina and becomes even more beautiful over time. Smooth or grained, this leather in a natural shade emphasizes the Birkin’s clean lines and will appeal to connoisseurs. – Hermès
Hermès Ardennes leather (officially called Vachette Grainée des Ardennes) is a thick, highly durable male calfskin sourced from the European Ardennes region. Hermès discontinued this leather around 2003, so it is now found exclusively on vintage bags like the Birkin and Kelly.
