Hermes Shadow Birkin 25 Limited Edition Bag In Black Swift Calfskin

At once dramatic yet understated, the Shadow Birkin was first introduced in 2009 by famed French designer Jean Paul Gaultier. A decade later, Herm豕s re-released the bag in limited numbers. Gaultier sought to create a trompe-l＊?il effect through the illusion of a top flat and sangles, shown casually strewn. In reality, the design is a raised impression, making it the only Birkin to stray from the traditional structure. The simple embossed clochette on the rear of the bag completes the design, along with snap-ended sangles that slide inside the front of the bag to allow for a bit of extra security.
