This Birkin35 Barenia Dark Brown PHW is crafted of dark brown Barenia leather. Originally employed for Hermès saddles, Barenia stands out as a smooth calfskin boasting a subtle sheen, offering resistance to both scratches and water. The leather’s unique quality lies in its ability to absorb skin oils, creating a beautiful patina over time. Barena’s tanning process involves a double treatment with chrome and vegetable dyes, followed by immersion in a blend of oils over several weeks. This meticulous process enhances the leather’s scratch and water resistance Barenia leather may display a mottled or streaked appearance, and bags featuring this leather carry an unfoiled blindstamp. Revered for its rich history, luxurious thickness, and transformative ageing, Barenia remains a highly sought-after choice among seasoned collectors.

The Birkin Hermès bag is an icon in the fashion world, highly sought-after by celebrities and the handbag-obsessed. The Birkin Hermès design is a collaboration between Jane Birkin and Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas. Before the Birkin bag, Hermès was already well-established as a house of luxury leather goods, catering to their elite clients’ needs. Today, of course, with the preeminence of the Birkin, Hermès has become the preeminent luxury handbag design house — the maker of the most coveted handbags on earth.

This story begins in 1983, with the chance encounter between It-Girl Jane Birkin and Jean-Louis Dumas, the artistic director and CEO of Hermes. The two met on a flight from Paris to London in 1984. Birkin confided in Dumas that she lacked a purse with appropriate functionality for her fast-paced lifestyle. Out of this conversation, the icon was born.

Having instantly captivated the hearts of many ever since its release after three years of assiduous crafting, the Birkin bag has doubtlessly become one of the most timeless pieces in the course of fashion history. Its roomy interior made it an ideal jet-set option, and the lock meant it could be securely carried closed during travel. The clean lines, minimalist style, and casual flair perfectly captured Birkin’s personal style. She was gifted a 40cm Birkin, which she individualized with stickers. It retailed for about $2,000. In 2011, Jane Birkin sold her original, well-worn bag at auction for more than $162,000 to support earthquake relief efforts in Japan.

Today, the Birkin bag comes in sizes 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, and 40cm and in a variety of leathers and exotic skins.
