Hermes 35cm Purple Swift Leather Custom Hand Painted Birkin W/Palladium Hardware (Comes W/Dust Cover & Hermes Twilly) - GUARANTEED FREE SHIPPING WILL ARRIVE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IF PAYMENT RECEIVED WITHIN 72 HOURS. This exquisite bag was made by highly trained artisans at Hermes. This is the instantly recognizable and highly sought after Birkin handbag in a gorgeous eggplant purple swift leather trimmed with shiny palladium hardware. Inspired by icon, Jane Birkin, the Hermes Birkin is one of the most desired handbags in the world. Similar to the Hermes Kelly, it is crafted by one highly trained artisan, and every piece of leather and hardware is greatly scrutinized to ensure perfection. The bag has been custom hand painted with an enticing design of cranes and chrysanthemums, making this a true one of a kind piece. The signature Birkin double strap twist lock closure opens to a matching purple leather interior with one zipped and one slit side pocket. The bag also comes with the clochette, lock and keys, dust cover, and orange checkered Hermes silk twilly. The bag measures 35cm x 25cm x 18cm (13.75" x 9.8" x 7") and has a 4" handle drop. Birkins outperformed both gold and the S&P 500 stocks over the past 35 years with an annual return of 14.2%, compared with gold's 1.5% and stocks' 8.7%. With Hermes' recent elimination of the wait list and plans to further lower the current ultra-limited production, prices will likely continue to grow. The handbag has the N square blind stamp for 2010. Condition: The handbag is in overall excellent condition with no stains, smells or scuffs, and clean corners, edges and interior.
