Hermès Birkin 40 Vert Anglais Box Calf Gold Hardware A □ (1997) marks the first year of Hermès' square-stamp era, opened after Z ○ (1996) closed the original circle-stamp cycle. Box Calf Birkin 40 production concentrated in this period and the format now surfaces at private sale primarily through estate dispositions and long-held collections. Vert Anglais is Hermès' deep English-hunter green that reads nearly black at low light and resolves green undertones under direct illumination. The color is most often misidentified as black in photography; in person the green sits at the edge of perception, more pronounced along the handles and base perimeter where light catches the leather directly. Box Calf takes the saturated dye with high depth and develops the semi-gloss patina characteristic of aged Box. Excellent condition with light press marks consistent with vintage carry. A JaneFinds Baginizer 40 is included to maintain shape during storage; vintage Box Calf at this scale benefits significantly from structured support. Condition: 2 – Excellent Stamp: A □ (1997) Color: Vert Anglais Leather: Box Calf Hardware: Gold Interior: Chèvre Includes: Box, Dust Bag, Clochette, Lock, Keys, JaneFinds Baginizer 40 Dimensions: 40 × 30 × 21 cm | 15.7" W × 11.8" H × 8.3" D Handle Drop: 11 cm | 4.3" Notes: Light press marks consistent with vintage carry; no visible flaws to body, interior, or hardware. Collector's Insight: Discontinued production conditions combine on this piece: vintage Box Calf era, dark-green palette no longer in active production, and B40 scale allocated in lower volume in current Hermès production than B25 or B30. The combination produces a fixed-supply collector tier that does not refresh through new production. Resale Insight: Vintage B40 Box Calf trades on closed variables: discontinued production scale, leather formulation no longer reproducible at the same characteristics, and pre-Z square-stamp provenance. Vert Anglais holds steady secondary market interest as a documented dark-color alternative to Noir, with limited current comparables. 👜 Shop All Birkin 🎒 Shop All Kelly ⛓️ Accessory Chains 🪪 Authentication Guide 📅 Date Stamp Reference 📦 Sell With JaneFinds
