Hermès 35 cm Birkin Vert Olive Shiny Porosus Crocodile Diamond Hardware
By the Privé Porter Editorial Team · Hermès specialists since 2008
The Vert Olive Birkin 35 cm offered by Privé Porter is a Hermès Birkin in shiny Porosus crocodile, finished in a deep olive green and fitted with diamond hardware. It pairs the most prized crocodile hide with the rarest hardware Hermès makes, and it is available now through our Miami showroom and online.
What is the Vert Olive Birkin 35 cm?
The Birkin from Hermès needs no introduction, but this example sits in a very small corner of it. Three choices make it exceptional: the Birkin 35 cm frame, a shiny (glazed) Porosus crocodile skin, and hardware set with diamonds.
Vert Olive is a muted, earthy green. On shiny crocodile it reads darker in low light and warmer in daylight, as the polished scales catch and reflect color. It behaves almost like a neutral.

Why does Porosus crocodile matter?
Hermès works with several crocodilian skins. Porosus comes from Crocodylus porosus, the saltwater crocodile, and is prized for its small, even scales and the regularity of its pattern across the belly. Each scale carries a tiny pore, one of the marks that distinguishes crocodile from alligator.
In the shiny finish, the skin is polished to a glass-like glaze that deepens color. It is the most formal look an exotic Birkin can take. We compare the skins in detail in Porosus vs Niloticus: rethinking the crocodile hierarchy at Hermès.
What is Hermès diamond hardware?
Diamond hardware is Hermès' rarest hardware option. It is crafted in 18k white gold and set with diamonds across the key pieces of the bag, such as the turnlock and plates. It is not part of standard production, and a diamond Birkin in any skin rarely surfaces on the secondary market.

A combination with history
Size 35 cm, shiny Porosus crocodile and diamond hardware is the same specifications as the bag that set a record in 2016. That April, Privé Porter sold a 35 cm Birkin in Braise shiny Porosus crocodile with 18k white gold and more than 10 carats of diamonds for $298,000, then a world record for a handbag, as reported by Forbes. The Vert Olive is a different color and a different bag, but it belongs to the same ultra-rare category.
Who is the Birkin 35 cm for?
The Birkin 35 cm was for years the "standard" size and works as a weekend or travel bag large enough for a laptop. In crocodile with diamond hardware, it moves from workhorse to statement.
- The collector who wants a centerpiece exotic rather than another everyday Togo.
- The minimalist who wants rarity without a loud color: Vert Olive is quiet from across a room and remarkable up close.
