Handles
The Birkin handles are perhaps the most renown and imitated trait of the Hermès Birkin itself.
Every Birkin is made by from the same craftsman from start to finish. The handles themselves are speculated to take up to six hours (three each) to make, the craftsman taking the time to roll, knead, and shape them, at times over his own thigh.
Standing with an approximate 4” drop for this 25cm Birkin, these handles rise like a crown over this beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
