Product Description
The Original Icon: Hermès Birkin 35 Himalaya
Matte Niloticus Crocodile | Palladium Hardware
The Art of the Gradient
The "Himalaya" name is derived from the breathtaking coloration of the Matte Niloticus Crocodile skin.3 The arduous, top-secret dyeing process transitions from a smoky, rocky grey at the outer edges to a pristine, snow-capped white down the center.4 In a 35cm frame, this transition is particularly striking; the larger scales allow for a more dramatic and symmetrical display of the skin’s natural texture, a feat of craftsmanship that is increasingly rare in modern production.5
The Collector’s Edge: Why the 35?
While the market has trended toward smaller sizes, the Birkin 35 remains the true "Power Bag." It is the size that launched the legend, offering a commanding presence that smaller models cannot replicate. For the serious investor, the 35cm Himalaya is technically rarer to produce than its smaller counterparts, as it requires a significantly larger, flawless crocodile hide—a rarity that only Hermès can source.
