Handmade Bag HB Shadow 25 Mushroom Swift Palladium Hardware

Measurements
: 9.8″ width x 8″ height x 5″ depth; 2.5″ handle drop
This Shadow Birkin is in Mushroom swift leather with tonal stitching, open top, embossed details and double rolled handles.
The interior is lined with Mushroom chevre and is one zip pocket with an Hermès engraved pull and an open pocket on opposite side.
The Shadow Birkin was first introduced in 2009 when Jean Paul Gaultier was Hermes’ creative director.  The idea was to take advantage of the Birkin’s basic rectangle shape. It is a true trompe l’oeil (optical illusion). Looking at the bag, one wonders if the straps are actually real or not. Viewed from a perpendicular angle (which need to show), the optical illusion can be quite unsettling.
