Hermes Birkin 35 SO BLACK – Matte Alligator PVD Hardware (2011, O Square)
The So Black collection marked a bold and final statement by Jean-Paul Gaultier during his creative direction at Hermes.

Highly limited and increasingly rare, this piece from the 2011 O Square collection is part of the exclusive exotic editions that define the SO BLACK legacy. It represents a moment in fashion history where craftsmanship met couture rebellion, and today remains one of the most coveted designs for Hermes collectors worldwide.
