The story behind
A chance encounter on a flight between Paris and London in 1984 sparked the creation of the Birkin. Actress Jane Birkin complained to Jean-Louis Dumas, the Executive Chairman of Hermès, about her struggle to find a bag suitable for her needs as a young mother. Dumas immediately sketched a spacious, rectangular holdall with a burnished flap and saddle stitching, and the Birkin was born.

The Colormatic detailing against ardoise Swift is the sort of thing you notice at the second glance. Permabrass suits it better than gold would.

I wear it at the waist with a coat and it sits flat enough not to bulk me out. The wool does attract lint and I have a little brush that lives in my hallway just for this. Worth it for how different it looks from every leather bag on the street.
