Vintage Hermès Shoulder Birkin JPG 42 Iris Togo — Buy Now

This Hermès Shoulder Birkin JPG 42 Iris is in stock now, as a single unit. Every detail below describes this exact piece.

The Vintage Hermès Shoulder Birkin JPG 42 Iris Togo Palladium is for sale as a single unit. The 42 JPG is the Jean Paul Gaultier shoulder Birkin, produced only for a short window and never reissued.

Togo is a pebbled calfskin with a fine raised grain. It shrugs off light scratching far better than a smooth leather and holds the Birkin’s shape while the corners soften slowly with use. Palladium is a bright, cool silver that will not tarnish.

The shoulder Birkin, designed under Jean Paul Gaultier, is the flat, elongated interpretation built to be carried on the shoulder. The bag carries a front flap, two straps closing over a centre toggle, a clochette holding the lock and keys, and double rolled handles.

Condition is stated as Vintage, graded Excellent. The blind stamp dates production to 2010. Seller’s condition notes, unedited: This bag is relaxed in its shape structure. There is no plastic on the hardware except the turnlock plate, resulting in moderate scratching. The exterior leather has some rubbing to the back corners but is otherwise clean. The interior leather has a few faint marks to the base and the walls.

Why this Hermès Shoulder Birkin JPG 42 Iris

Because stock runs at one unit per listing, this Hermès Shoulder Birkin JPG 42 Iris does not come back once it sells. Because it is the 42 size, it suits buyers who want that proportion rather than a near match. For example, we shoot every surface rather than a flattering three-quarter. Similarly, Pre-Owned Hermès Birkin 35 Crocus Epsom is worth a look, and so is Pre-Owned Hermès Birkin 35 Cobalt Togo. Otherwise our Pre-Owned & Vintage Handbags collection and Handbags carry the full range. In short, what you see is what ships.

What the grade means

Nothing reaches the catalogue without an in-house authentication first, which is why the grade sits at vintage. Similarly, we photograph the wear rather than lighting around it. In short, the description should match the parcel. Since togo responds to how you store it, store it stuffed, away from direct sun. In short, we would rather under-promise than argue later, which is why we publish who we are.

Delivery and duties

We ship worldwide and insure every parcel, at no cost to you. However, import charges depend on where you live, so budget for them early. In short, the landed cost matters as much as the ticket price, and we set out the arithmetic in VAT, duty and the true landed cost. Meanwhile, @herbirkinbags shows what has just landed. If this Hermès Shoulder Birkin JPG 42 Iris is not the one, which size to buy is worth reading next, and what moves resale value after it. Our our shipping policy covers the rest.
