Why the Birkin 40 Is the Ultimate Travel Birkin
The Hermès Birkin 40 (approximately 40cm wide, 30cm tall, 20cm deep) is the largest standard Birkin size and was originally created for travel use — fitting a laptop, tablet, books, and full-day travel essentials. In the 1990s-2000s, the Birkin 40 was popular alongside the Birkin 35 as the professional/travel Birkin choice. Modern demand has shifted heavily toward the smaller Birkin 25 and 30, making the Birkin 40 relatively scarce in current production. Hermès has significantly reduced Birkin 40 allocation compared to earlier decades, creating a scarcity dynamic where vintage 1990s-2000s Birkin 40 pieces in excellent condition command growing premiums. Secondary market pricing runs 80-180% above retail across standard configurations, with rare exotic leather and Himalaya reaching 300-500% premiums. The Birkin 40 remains the definitive travel Birkin and appeals to collectors who value the original 1980s Birkin dimensions and heritage.

Are Birkin 40 bags still being made?
Yes, but in significantly reduced production compared to 1990s-2000s allocation. Hermès has shifted production emphasis toward Birkin 25 and 30 as market demand has moved to smaller sizes. Birkin 40 remains available for special order (SO) at Hermès boutiques with the Horseshoe stamp (HSS) system, and standard-configuration Birkin 40 pieces continue to be produced but in lower volumes. This has created a scarcity dynamic where current Birkin 40 pieces command healthy premiums above retail, and vintage 1990s-2000s Birkin 40 pieces in excellent condition appreciate 15-25% annually.
