Privé Porter’s Guide To: Alix Earle And Stassi Are Bringing Back The Travel Birkin
Alix Earle’s Monaco trip has been everywhere lately.
The yachts. The Riviera outfits. The endless videos. The impossible itinerary.
But while everyone else was watching where they were headed next… we were looking at what was headed with them.
In a recent TikTok update shared by Alix Earle, the creator appeared to capture a surprisingly perfect Hermès moment while packing up and leaving Monaco with Stassi.
Sitting among the luggage? What appear to be two Hermès Birkin 35 cms.
One appears to be Vert, while the other appears to be Etoupe.
And suddenly we remembered something important:
The Birkin was never supposed to be precious.
The Birkin Was Originally A Travel Bag
Somewhere along the way, the internet convinced everyone that the ideal Hermès collection was tiny.
Mini Kellys.
Birkin 20s.
Bags that fit approximately one lip gloss and bad decisions.
But the original Birkin story was different.
It was inspired by movement. Function. Carrying too much. Looking chic anyway.
Which is exactly why this moment felt so refreshing.
These aren’t carefully styled shelf bags.
These appear packed.
Used.
Thrown onto luggage.
Taken somewhere.
And honestly? That might be the most Hermès thing of all.
Why The Birkin 35 Quietly Makes More Sense Than People Admit
Collectors know this already.
The Birkin 35 is one of those sizes people rediscover.
Large enough to actually travel.
Structured enough to still feel polished.
Relaxed enough that it somehow looks even better after years of use.
You stop babying it.
You start living with it.
That’s where the magic happens.
Team Vert Or Team Etoupe?
If the colors are what they appear to be, they couldn’t feel more different.
The Vert Birkin feels unexpected, cool, a little sporty and perfect against the water.
The Etoupe Birkin remains one of Hermès’ forever neutrals—the kind of bag that works with absolutely everything and never feels dated.
Together they almost feel like two personalities of the same collector.
One playful.
One classic.
Both very good at boarding boats.
Monaco may have been the headline.
But for Hermès people?
The Birkins quietly stole the trip.
