Case study: sourcing a Hermès Birkin 25 in black Togo

The request

A private client asked us to source a Hermès Birkin 25 in black Togo leather with gold hardware. The brief was precise: the exact size, leather, colour and hardware, in excellent condition, with the full cost known before committing.

Why it takes a specialist

The Birkin 25 in black with gold hardware is one of the most requested combinations in the world. Hermès does not sell it online, and boutique availability is rare. Most clients look on the secondary market, where condition, provenance and authenticity vary widely.

What we did

  • Searched our network of trusted dealers and private collections for the exact specification
  • Shared the available bags with condition reports, photos, year stamp and the total cost, including delivery
  • Arranged an independent authentication check on the bag the client chose
  • Organised insured delivery to the client's door, with payment in the client's preferred currency

The outcome

The client received the Birkin 25 they had described, authenticated and delivered insured, with every cost agreed in advance.
