A true anomaly in the world of Hermès, this exceptional Birkin pairs two of the maison’s rarest materials: velvety dark chocolate Doblis suede and glossy black Porosus crocodile. The result is a textural and visual contrast that is both dramatic and exquisitely refined.

Porosus crocodile—sourced under the strictest standards - is among the most coveted exotic skins Hermès offers, while Doblis suede, prized for its plush finish, is rarely seen in contemporary production. The marriage of these two materials in a single vintage Birkin is virtually unheard of.

Dating to 1996, this is believed to be the only example of its kind currently on the market. For serious collectors, it represents not just a bag, but a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition that speaks to the heart of Hermès’ legacy: innovation, rarity, and unmatched craftsmanship.
