Birkin 40 Retourne Togo Bleu Nuit

The Hermès Birkin 40 Retourne in Togo leather in Bleu Nuit is a rare and particularly elegant treasure. The 40-centimeter size offers generous storage space and is suitable for both everyday use and travel. Togo leather, used by Hermès since the late 1990s, is made from calfskin, is soft to the touch, yet dimensionally stable, and characterized by its fine, even grain that leaves little chance of scratching. The Bleu Nuit shade is a deep, almost black dark blue that reveals its subtle depth of color in different lighting conditions, creating a bag that is both understated and expressive. The Retourne model features softer edges and a slightly more relaxed silhouette, lending a pleasant lightness to the generous format. Handcrafted by a single artisan with the signature saddle stitch, the creation of a Birkin requires many hours of meticulous work. The history of the Birkin dates back to the 1980s, inspired by the encounter between Jane Birkin and Jean-Louis Dumas, and has since become a symbol of timeless craftsmanship and enduring appreciation.
