Hermes Birkin 20 Sellier Faubourg House Midnight Matte Alligator So Black Hardware

The Hermès Birkin 20 Sellier Faubourg House Midnight Matte Alligator with So Black Hardware is arguably the single most difficult Birkin configuration in existence. Conceived as a miniature architectural portrait of the legendary 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré flagship, the Faubourg Birkin is produced in vanishingly small numbers each year and is reserved almost exclusively for the maison's most established clients.

The Midnight interpretation renders the façade entirely in black and Bleu Nuit, with the arched windows executed in warm amber and the signature orange awnings providing the only note of colour against the darkness. Built from Epsom and Swift leathers with a Matte Alligator top flap, handles and straps, the bag is completed by the coveted So Black treatment — hardware finished in a deep blackened tone rather than palladium or gold, applied only to a handful of pieces in the maison's history. Executed in the rigid Sellier construction, every marquetry element is inlaid and stitched entirely by hand by a single artisan, demanding many times the hours of a standard Birkin. This Brand New 2024 W Stamp example is Brand New, with protective plastic still attached to the hardware.

Offered as a complete full set, this bag includes the original Hermès box, dust bags, lock, keys, clochette, CITES documentation and all accompanying accessories originally supplied by Hermès. A true collector's acquisition in Brand New condition.
