Hermès Birkin 30 Sellier Vert Criquet Madame Grain Gold Hardware - 2020, Y

for years now, hermès has been tinkering with a new design for their iconic birkin bag. as the classic kelly is constructed in both retourne and sellier styles, the birkin too is now being produced in an out-stitched sellier construction to counterbalance the original design (do we call that the retourne birkin now?). the first example of this new construction came in 2014 as the 40cm vache hunter sellier birkin, which featured an unlined interior with a tethered zip pouch, and distinct stitches around the hardware on the bag’s face. five years later, the maison’s master craftsmen perfected the design, releasing limited examples of both 25cm and 30cm sellier birkins in epsom leather. this store-fresh piece is one such example, and unlike the original version, today’s sellier birkins have fully lined interiors with all of the classic pockets we’ve come to expect. this bag is doubly special beca of its color: vert criquet, a new shade meant to evoke the natural greens of a cricket, which is perfectly paired with gold hardware.
