Extraordinary Baby Birkin Found at Auction This Weekend

A rare and tiny Hermès Birkin Sellier 20 Vert D'eau Matte Alligator Gold Hardware can be found at auction in the UK from 12 – 16 July.

In brand-new condition and with only a handful of these handbags on the market for no less than $100,000, it certainly could be an enticing investment for the high-end buyer.  

Hermès collectors will know that the first Hermès Birkin 20 was released in 2019 as a limited edition called the Birkin 20 Faubourg. This extremely rare limited-edition Birkin is the smallest of the range at 20cm wide.

The Birkin 20 in Matte Alligator, the same model being offered at auction this weekend, was introduced to the market in 2023 and is near impossible to find to buy immediately. Sotheby's sold a Vert D'eau Matte Alligator Birkin 20 in Hong Kong for just over $115,000.
