At JOMO, we believe handbags are not merely accessories… they are cultural artefacts. Few pieces embody this more than the Birkin 30 in Noir Togo with Gold Hardware.
Created as a symbol of quiet power and enduring sophistication, the Birkin has long transcended fashion to become a global icon. In Noir, the purest black, its authority is absolute, softened only by the gentle grain of Togo leather. The gold hardware adds a warmth that elevates without overpowering - an alchemy Hermès has perfected across generations.
The 30cm silhouette represents balance: large enough to command presence, refined enough for daily use. This C-stamp example, preserved in excellent condition, carries with it not just craftsmanship but continuity - a testament to timeless design, equally at home in heritage archives as it is in modern collections.
For JOMO, this Birkin speaks to the essence of what we stand for: fewer, better, timeless. It is an heirloom for some, a cultural marker for others, and for all, a reminder that true luxury is never fleeting.
From Icon to Investment:
The Birkin is no longer just a handbag - it is a financial asset. Jane Birkin’s own original Birkin recently sold at Sotheby’s Paris for $8.2 million, cementing Hermès alongside art and fine jewellery as a serious collectible.
Birkins have delivered average annual returns of 14%, consistently outperforming the S&P 500, gold, and real estate. Classic models in Togo leather have appreciated by more than 80% over the past decade, with values proving resilient even in downturns.
Our Birkin 30 Noir Togo with Gold Hardware (C-stamp) is offered today at £15,500 - a highly competitive entry point. Based on conservative projections, this exact piece could reach around £25,000 within five years. At JOMO, we select icons not only for their cultural weight but also for their proven ability to grow in both significance and value.
