Hermès Birkin 35 Grizzly Blue Thalassa Suede and Swift with Permabrass Hardware
This Hermès Grizzly Birkin 35 in rare Blue Thalassa Veau Doblis suede is a striking example of texture-forward design. Its velvety suede body is paired with supple Swift leather trim and finished with warm Permabrass hardware, creating a sophisticated interplay of color, material, and light. The result is a Birkin that feels artisanal and bold—yet still unmistakably timeless.
The soft-grained suede, a hallmark of the “Grizzly” series, is celebrated for its patina potential—aging gracefully as it absorbs the spirit of its owner over time. The interior is lined in classic Hermès herringbone toile with leather slip pockets, offering both elegance and functionality. The muted shimmer of the Permabrass hardware enhances the richness of the Thalassa hue while providing a more understated alternative to traditional gold.
Pictured is a twist straight from the Hermès ateliers: the “inside-out” Birkin. All Birkins are crafted inside-out and flipped during finishing—here, the suede remains proudly outward, making it a technical and stylistic statement piece.
