Hermès Birkin Shoulder Light 29 Gold Evercolor Gold Hardware

The Hermès 29cm Shoulder Birkin (sometimes called the “Shoulder Birkin 29” or “Shoulder Birkin Light 29”) is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Birkin bag with a twist. Originally conceived by designer Jean-Paul Gaultier in 2004 as a larger 42cm “Shoulder Birkin,” the new 29cm version retains the iconic Birkin look – including the flap with two sangles (straps) and turn-lock (touret) closure, clochette with lock and keys, and double rolled handles – but with elongated handles and a shortened height for shoulder carry. Gaultier’s innovation was to extend the Birkin’s handles and reduce its height so it can fit comfortably under the arm, effectively creating an “east-west” Birkin silhouette.

In the current 29cm model, the proportions are more compact and streamlined: approximately 29 cm wide, ~15–18 cm tall, and ~13 cm deep (about 11.5″ × 6.25″ × 5.2″) with a handle drop around 14–15 cm. This gives it a squat, rectangular profile compared to a standard Birkin. Despite the smaller size, it still offers a decent interior capacity similar to a Birkin 30, but in a sleeker shape.
