Not your Mummy’s birkin
This striking 35 centimetre gem features silvertone “Palladium” hardware, rich ebene Bull Calf leather and a navy, rouge Hermes, Ivory and hunter green plaid body. Think roaring fires and hunt club scene:
Quirky in its own way, but truly Rare (It was sported on Gaultier’s Runway for ‘06 Fall) –appraising eyes will certainly appreciate the master craftsmanship as well as the subtle message that this is NOT your only Birkin. For those of us who cross dress….meaning: We love Chanel as well as Hermes, this is not the best choice as Coco Pink, Ivory and Black — all those signature CC hues are absent and clash wildly with this colour scheme — but for the true Hermes Fan, you’ve died and gone to Balmoral.

OMG, I can’t believe you found this bag. I’ve searched all over Europe and NO ONE has it, How MUCH????? I’m ready to send a cashier’s check or wire, would you please write me at the email address. We know many of the same people and I would love to introduce myself again. Please don’t sell this to anyone before we talk because I really really really want it for myself. I have several rare Birkins you might like and I would also be willing to trade my croc 25 if you were interested. I love this bag and your site. Please sell this to me. Rachel

I think this cloth and leather mix is divine. It IS unusual: I’ve seen leather and cream toile birkins but never one that looks like its been combined with a flannel riding shirt. It works and I love it!
