Is A Birkin Bag in Craie Togo Leather a Classic Color and Style?

Dear PurseBop:

My sister is receiving her first Hermes Birkin bag… she selected Craie in Togo leather? Is this good? Is this classic? It will be her only Birkin for a long time …
She lives in a warm country. California

Dear Classic Birkin:

Hermès Birkin and Kellys are classic iconic bags. There are many classic Hermès colors that are available every season. Those colors are Noir, Gold, Craie, Etoupe, and many more. Craie is a beautiful off white color that first appeared in the Fall/Winter of 2013.

The word Craie means “chalk” in French. It is a cooler off white color with hints of gray depending on the lighting. It is a wonderful neutral color that will easily coordinate with most items in your wardrobe. A definite classic, versatile, and beautiful color that will stand the test of time as a true icon. Your sister made an excellent choice.

As with all light colored bags, however, be aware of potential color transfer from darker clothes which is an issue with all light colored bags.

We hope your sister loves and enjoys her new Birkin in Craie togo leather.
