Hermès Birkin 30 Matte Himalayan Niloticus Crocodile Palladium Hardware
Hermès Birkin 30 Matte Himalayan Niloticus Crocodile Palladium Hardware 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 challenging effect to master on the matte Niloticus crocodile skin. Each Himalaya bag is unique in its coloration, and this 30cm Birkin is a stand-out, featuring balanced, symmetrical gray tones around the edges and a soft lace-like veining through the center. The color symmetry extends to the handles and sangles, a rare and rewarding detail upon close inspection. Dating from 2010, this bag is preserved in 1 – Pristine condition. Although the Himalayan Birkin is constructed to endure use without fear of visible wear, this example appears almost entirely untouched. Investment-wise, Himalayan Birkins consistently outperform other exotics, with auction results reaching new heights year after year.
