Swift Epsom Tressage Birkin 30 Gold Bleu de Nord Bleu Indigo

The Hermès Birkin 30 Tressage in Gold, Bleu du Nord, and Bleu Indigo is a limited-edition masterpiece that blends the house’s most iconic silhouette with an innovative, woven leather technique. The “Tressage” (braiding) collection is celebrated for its intricate front-panel design, which adds a geometric, three-dimensional texture to the traditional Birkin aesthetic.

Core Design & Material Construction

• Body Material (Swift Leather): The main body is crafted from Swift leather, which is prized for its soft, buttery hand and semi-matte finish. Swift’s superior color absorption makes the “Gold” hue appear exceptionally rich and luminous.

• Tressage Detail (Epsom Leather): The central woven strip is crafted from Epsom leather, a heat-pressed, embossed calfskin known for its rigid structure and scratch resistance. This provides a durable, high-contrast texture against the smooth Swift body.

• Color Composition:

  • Gold: The primary golden-brown tan of the bag, accented with traditional contrast white stitching.

  • Bleu du Nord: A bright, sky-blue shade used as one of the two colors in the woven tressage motif.

  • Bleu Indigo: A deep navy blue that provides a dark, grounding contrast within the braided pattern.

• Hardware: This limited edition is almost exclusively finished with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware, which offers a bright, cool-toned accompaniment to the multi-color blue accents.

• Interior: The interior is lined in Bleu Indigo Chèvre (goatskin), featuring one zippered pocket and one open patch pocket.

Specifications & Utility

• Dimensions: Approximately 30 cm L x 22 cm H x 16 cm D (roughly 12″ x 10″ x 6″).

• Handle Drop: Features dual rolled leather handles with a drop of approximately 10 cm (4 inches), designed for hand or forearm carry.

• Functional Detail: The combination of rigid Epsom tressage and supple Swift body allows the bag to maintain its shape better than a standard Swift Birkin while retaining a luxurious, soft feel.

• Stamp: Most examples of this specific colorway are identified with a D Stamp (2019 production).
