Vintage Hermes ‘Graffiti’ Birkin 35 – Custom Painted Box Leather with Gold Hardware (1998, B Square | Artwork 2021)
“Graffiti” is rooted in the Italian word for ‘little scratches,’ and this 35cm Birkin embodies that history through both wear and reinterpretation. Originally crafted in 1998 from classic Hermes Box leather, the bag has been transformed into an expressive artwork in 2021. Layers of pigment have been built up, distressed, and rubbed away—resulting in a textured visual story etched in leather.
Vivid graffiti-style tags, abstract color blocks, and hand-lettered words like “Love” in multiple languages wrap the bag with urban energy. This one-of-a-kind collector piece merges fashion and street art into a single, wearable canvas.
