Hermes Birkin 40 Beige Veau Doblis Suede with Gold Hardware - 1986, P Circle

We all know the iconic Birkin bag's origin story, from the chance encounter between Jean-Louis Dumas, Hermes' chief executive, and actress Jane Birkin, resulting in the design of ‘the perfect weekend bag.’ This Birkin, from the first year of production, 1986, is a remarkable piece for several reasons. Entirely crafted in Doblis Suede, a rare material that remains nearly impossible to find, it is an exceptional find for collectors. This bag was originally displayed in the Paris flagship windows by famed designer Leila Menchari, alongside similar suede Birkins, marking its historical importance. Initially, the pontets (the hardware that holds the straps) were inverted, a design flaw corrected later, with this particular bag's hardware now featuring upward-facing pontets, thanks to the owner’s close relationship with Hermes. This unique piece stands as one of the rarest Birkins, connected to both the bag’s history and the iconic Menchari,
