Hermes Birkin 30 Gris Cendre Himalaya 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. Within this crown, there are a few jewels even more precious than the rest. The Gris Cendre Himalayans are particularly special examples that are produced on a level of magnitude less than the already extremely rare White Himalayans. These bags ombre from light to dark gray and typically have much more even and smooth coloring than their more heavily contrasted counterparts. What really makes the Gris Cendre Hima special is the Fauve Chevre leather interior, which adds a touch of earthy warmth to the ash-inspired bag, otherwise chilly with the cool Palladium hardware. This example, a 30cm Birkin from 2013 is in exceptional condition, and though it is far more rare and special than a White Hima, it is also far more subtle and usable, a truly rare combination. Investment Bag opportunity.
