Specialist note

Initially designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier in 2009, the market at the time was unaware of the potential of this dream piece today. The low-profiled, yet playful, Shadow Birkin bag confused handbag collectors upon its launch in the beginning. Buyers and collectors alike grappled with how a Birkin bag would work without any hardware. Instead, with integrated and stylish design, the flap, straps, and clochette have been chiselled in the raw material. The illusion of the appearance is ultimately an exceptional presentation of craftsmanship.
