In 2019, Hermès released the first Faubourg Birkins, capturing the architectural essence of the house’s iconic flagship. Nita Ambani’s snowy white version of the Faubourg Birkin was released in 2021, along with a Minuit (Midnight) version. The fine handbag emulates the grandeur of the store, featuring day and night colourations with matt alligator flaps atop a calfskin body.

Details like window frames, Epsom glass and a Sombrero leather base add to the allure and exclusivity of the Faubourg Birkin. The awnings on all Faubourg Birkins are done in the brand’s iconic colour: Orange H Swift.

In 2017, a Himalaya Birkin with white gold and diamond hardware sold at a Christie’s Hong Kong auction for US$300,000, becoming the most expensive bag ever sold at the time.
