First (and likely only) Birkin...which color?



I always imagined that I would hold out for the most classic of colorways for my first Birkin - Black with Gold Hardware. But, my first offer was for Gris Asphalte with Gold Hardware.

I would never have thought I’d feel this way about a bag that wasn’t black, but I would be completely satisfied with my GA if I were never to be offered another Birkin (heaven forbid!).

It is a perfect neutral - not too warm or cool, not too taupe/brown & not too gray. The yellow gold hardware offsets the gray in the best way. It stands apart in a sea of black bags but still looks classic IMHO.

My first Hermes bag was a black birkin 25 with palladium hardware. I was very sure it was going to be a dark colour. I nearly settled for Bleu Ocean but I am glad I went with Black in the end. I feel it is a timeless classic especially if it is going to be the only Hermes bag I was going to have. It is still my only birkin. I don't use it for work as I prefer shoulder bags for work.
