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.

Canvas keeps the weight down which on a 35 matters enormously. 18 deep so it takes everything, gym kit, laptop, the lot.

The frayed edges do collect fluff and a bit of grey along the bottom. I've brushed it twice and it's fine but pale canvas is pale canvas. Only came with the dustbag and lock set.

A 35 in mint with frayed canvas is not a subtle object. Made me laugh.

Menthe is a pale mint green and the fray fray canvas is genuinely frayed at the edges, which on a Birkin is a joke I appreciate.

Wore it to work every day for a month straight to see if I'd get bored. I didn't. 25 with the strap across the body is enough for a phone, cards, keys and a small notebook, and I carry a tote for the laptop. Palladium does show fingerprints but that's the only thing I'd change.
