Hermes 40cm Black Togo Leather Birkin Bag W/Gold Hardware -This exquisite bag was made by highly trained artisans at Hermes. This is the instantly recognizable and highly sought after Birkin handbag in black togo leather trimmed with gold hardware, a perfect neutral for any occasion. Inspired by icon, Jane Birkin, the Hermes Birkin is one of the most desired handbags in the world. Similar to the Hermes Kelly, it is crafted by one highly trained artisan, and every piece of leather and hardware is greatly scrutinized to ensure perfection. The bag measures 40cm x 30cm x 21cm (15.75" x 11.8" x 8.25") and has a 4" handle drop, and is an excellent size for carrying all of your essentials for a day at the office or even a short weekend or overnight trip. The interior is lined with black leather and has one zip pocket with an Hermes engraved zipper pull and an open pocket on the opposite side. The bag will come with the clochette, lock, and keys. The handbag has an A square blind stamp for 1997. Birkins outperformed both gold and the S&P 500 stocks over the past 35 years with an annual return of 14.2%, compared with gold's 1.5% and stocks' 8.7%. With Hermes' recent elimination of the wait list and plans to further lower the current ultra-limited production, prices will likely continue to grow. Condition: The handbag is in overall excellent condition with no stains, smells or major scuffs, clean interior.
