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.

Ardoise in Togo on a 40 is a lot of grey and it works because the grain breaks it up.

Special order and the wait tested me but black alligator with palladium was worth it. It fits a phone, a card case, a lipstick and my keys which is more than I expected from something this small. Came with the cites certificate and the receipt, no box, which I didn't mind.
