The Himalayan Birkin, named for its evocation of the famous snow-capped mountain range that crowns the world, itself crowns the range of Birkin bags in Hermès' oeuvre. Nothing tops the delicate fade from white to gray, a difficult effect to master on the matte Nilo Crocodile skin. Each Himalaya bag is unique in it's coloration, some more balanced than others. This 30cm Birkin is very well balanced, with straight and even grays around the edges, and a fine lace that runs through the cracks just enough towards the center; extremely rewarding on close inspection. This Himalayan is also exceptional in the symmetry of color on its handles and sangles. Dating from 2011, it is in exceptional condition; these bags are treasured, and though the nature of their coloration and matte finish lends itself to use without fear of
noticeable damage, this example appears to have gone almost entirely untouched. Though the Himalayan retails for more than a regular crocodile Birkin, their value has proven far more solid, with auction results for these coveted gems consistently climbing to new unthinkable heights year after year.
