Description
Hermes 35cm Blue Saphir Ostrich Birkin Bag with Gold HardwareVery Good to Excellent Condition
14" Width x 10" Height x 7" Depth
In the 35cm size, this bag is an Hermes collector's dream. Ostrich is discontinued in such a large size, making this bag rare, special, and extremely desirable. The color is beautiful and subtle, and blue is now being worn as a neutral. The exterior is Blue Saphir Ostrich with rolled handles and gold hardware. The interior is matching Blue Saphir Chevre leather and includes one zip pocket and one slip pocket. This is a great opportunity to add a gorgeous exotic to your collection, as this bag is incredibly beautiful and valuable.
This bag is in Very Good to Excellent Condition. The base corners show light color loss, and the hardware is lightly scratched. There is a slight patina to the handles. There is light wear to the edges of the arms of the closure and the corners of the top flap's waxing. The interior shows little to no wear. This bag comes with a lock, keys, clochette, and rain protector.
