While the classic Birkin tote bags are popular, there is a very special something about the JPG (for Jean Paul Gaultier, Hermès' chief designer) Shoulder Birkin with extra long handles, oversized "chunky" hardware and extra wide soft body (a whopping 42cm). True to its name, the JPG is carried very well on the shoulder with the extra long handles (almost 6 inches). The model is extremely stylish and modern as well with the oversized cadena/lock, larger strap guides and larger buckles.
This is the newer JPG model, also called the JPG II, which resembles the Birkin more closely than the older versions. The strap guide hooks are open at the top, and the front turnlock "nose" is round. The body is sleeker and taller than the older models, and the interior features an extra cell phone pocket and stash pocket.
One thing we love about the oversized hardware is that it goes well with the style - the large front lock almost "balances" out the wide body, and the bag functions well even with the front buckles closed and lock attached.

In blue izmir togo baby bull and 24k gold plated hardware. The color is Blue Izmir, a beautiful deep turquoise sea-blue with teal undertones. Amazing against 24k gold plated hardware - nowadays, it's so hard to find gold hardware Hermes bags.
In Togo baby bull leather, this leather features small grained calfskin that is soft and natural. Over time, the grain will further soften.
