Hermès Birkin 30 Touch Black Shiny Niloticus Crocodile and Novillo Gold Hardware

Hermès Birkin 30 Touch Black Shiny Niloticus Crocodile and Novillo with Gold Hardware

This exceptional Birkin 30 Touch pairs two of Hermès’ most prized materials: glossy Black Shiny Niloticus Crocodile and soft, grained Novillo leather. The result is a textural and visual contrast that captures the elegance of exotics with the practicality of a daily-use Birkin. Touch Birkins are distinguished by their exotic handles and flap, offering just a “touch” of crocodile to make the piece rare yet understated. Gold hardware adds warmth and timeless appeal to this jet-black pairing, enhancing the depth of both skins.

Released in 2021 and stamped Z, this Birkin 30 remains a favorite silhouette for collectors—refined yet spacious, structured yet wearable. The pairing of Black and Gold remains one of the most sought-after and enduring combinations across all Hermès categories.

Collector’s Note:
The Touch Birkin is a modern icon—developed for those who want the rarity of exotic skins with the ease of everyday wear. Black with Gold hardware is always at the top of collector demand, and this particular configuration in 30cm hits the sweet spot in size, wearability, and value retention. Crocodile Touch bags are produced in extremely limited numbers due to material sourcing, and Novillo—a more structured, matte leather—is no longer widely used, making this combination increasingly scarce. A confident and sophisticated statement piece that feels as powerful as it looks.

Resale Insight:
Touch Birkins consistently outperform standard leather models in the resale market, especially in classic colorways like Black and Gold. As Shiny Niloticus Crocodile becomes more tightly allocated and Novillo phases out of production, pieces like this are expected to grow in value. Condition 2/5 (Excellent) strikes an ideal balance for collectors seeking both wearability and investment potential. Prices for Touch Birkins have steadily risen year over year, with Black Croc & Gold Touch combos among the most in-demand.
