Mind the Symbol | Shooting Star

"Shooting Star" Birkins have a stamp in the shape of a shooting star adjacent to the "Hermès, Paris Made in France" stamp; this stamp is either in gold or silver to match the hardware and other embossing on the bag. Rarely, the stamp may be "blind", or colorless, if the bag is made out of one or two of the specific types of leather on which Hermes does not use metallic stamping. They are Birkins or other Hermes bags which craftsmen are permitted to make, a limit of one per year, for personal use or personal gifts. They are not meant for resale in any capacity whatsoever, not eligible for "spa" treatments, and any "Shooting Star" Birkin brought to the attention of Hermès is reported to result in serious attention to the craftsman whose stamp appears on the bag.
