Calf Box leather has been a heritage staple in the Hermès oeuvre for nearly a century. Its smooth almost glossy finish is unmatched and has been proven to stand the test of time, acquiring a distinct patina with regular use. Box leather is also renowned for its ability to be restored to nearly new condition from almost any state. While Hermès has been producing Box leather bags for decades, today, the traditional leather is reserved for special highly limited production runs especially when it comes to Birkin 30 cm bag.

While Hermès Birkin bags are considered the rarest and most desirable bags in the world, among Birkins, exotic examples are considered even more so. One example of rare exotic skins Hermès uses to make Birkins is Ostrich, which features a unique pattern of dots made from the bird’s feathers. Hermès produces Ostrich bags in few numbers, and takes special care when deciding which colors to use. This example, done in classic Blue Iris is an uncompromising neutral that is both subtle and striking, perfectly paired with Palladium hardware. This bag has been used lovingly and gently.
