Own a Rare Hermès Birkin Bag
This iconic pre-loved Parchemin Vibrato Birkin 35 is a highly collectible version of the iconic Hermès Birkin bag. The Vibrato line was introduced in 2000 and officially discontinued in 2007, making these bags highly sought after by collectors. Vibrato is a unique material made by layering and pressing hundreds of thin, colored leather strips, creating a distinct, multi-tonal, striped texture. As Vibrato is only used for the center body of the bag, the rest is crafted from smooth, polished Box leather.

A One-of-a-Kind Piece by Cathy Waterman
A one-of-a-kind experience and piece by iconic jeweler Cathy Waterman. Michelle Obama wore CW to her husband’s inauguration and to meet the Queen. Taylor Swift wore a custom CW ring on her Red album cover. The studio stays quiet about clients, but look closely and you’ll recognize her work on your favorite people.
Cathy’s style is ethereal and lyrical, using ethical materials. She sees leaves and branches when she closes her eyes, letting nature guide her hand.
