This is the Hermès Shoulder Birkin JPG 42 Poussiere, photographed here and available now. Every detail below describes this exact piece.

The Vintage Hermès Shoulder Birkin JPG 42 Poussiere Clemence 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.

Clemence is a taurillon leather with a flatter, broader grain and more weight than Togo. It relaxes noticeably as it is carried, giving the bag a softer, lower line. 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 2008. Seller’s condition notes, unedited: This bag has a very relaxed shape structure. There is no plastic on the hardware. The exposed hardware, including the lock, have moderate scratches throughout. There is discoloration to the rivets. The exterior leather has signs of wear with scuff marks to all of the corners and cracking to all of the resin. There is some peeling near the base of the top handles. The interior leather has press markings and discoloration spots to the interior base.

Condition, authentication and care

Authentication happens here, in house, before we photograph or price anything. As a result, the grade reads vintage because that is what the piece is. However, we would rather lose a sale than overstate one. Because clémence shows handling differently from other materials, keep it away from heat and direct sun when it is not being worn. In addition, the same eyes check every piece that leaves here — see the questions we are asked most.
