The iconic Hermès Birkin handbag is now available in a LEGO version, complete with a surprise runway inside. Designed by LEGO builders BOI_Design and KittyJW, this model reimagines the Birkin 20 Faubourg. Inspired by Hermès’s Paris flagship store, it is made from approximately 1,400 LEGO bricks in deep navy, dark green, and gold colors. The exterior is crafted to resemble 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, featuring arched boutique windows and orange awnings.
The Hermès Birkin Gets a LEGO Twist
Design Details
The silhouette is instantly recognizable, drawing from the luxury fashion world and mimicking the real handbag’s iconic shape. The trapezoidal body is rendered in deep navy blue, while the handles are dark green, constructed from linked Technic-adjacent elements. Gold hardware details are incorporated at the clasp, buckles, and the turnlock assembly. A small orange chain displays a red heart charm and a gold minifigure pendant. The back panel retains a simple aesthetic, with navy tiles and a gold Hermès tile.
Architectural and Fashion Fusion
The front depicts three arched windows with white frames and orange awnings, mirroring the Haussmannian design of the actual Faubourg Saint-Honoré boutique. This combination subtly merges fashion and architecture, providing a unique visual experience for the observer. BOI_Design and KittyJW describe this work as a blend of two artistic disciplines. For those interested in similar integrations of art forms, Misato Sano’s Hand-Carved Dogs offer another unique merger of art and storytelling.
A Surprising Interior
Inside the LEGO Birkin, the lid reveals a hidden interior scene featuring three pink minifigures poised on bold, primary-colored bricks. Alongside this fashion runway setup is a smaller replica of the Birkin 20 Faubourg bag, an easter egg for attentive viewers. The interior lining, in cream and tan tiles, mirrors the real Birkin’s contrast of suede against leather. This model, measuring 28.5 cm wide and 29 cm tall, offers a substantial presence on display. For those looking to make their home interiors just as memorable, you might explore ways to refresh an older bathroom without a full remodel.
