What is a horseshoe Birkin?
The horseshoe Birkin is a nickname for certain handbags produced by Hermès, a French luxury fashion house. Specifically, Birkin bags that a customer purchased as a one-of-a-kind special order. The name comes from the fact that Hermès stamps these custom pieces with a horseshoe mark. You'll find a variety of Hermès Birkin handbags on 1stDibs.
