Inside Lux Addicts’ Record-Breaking Sale of the Ultra-Rare Hermès Diamond Himalaya Birkin 35
This summer, the luxury world paused to take note as Lux Addicts, Miami’s premier destination for ultra-rare Hermès handbags, achieved one of the year’s most extraordinary milestones — the sale of the Hermès Birkin 35 Himalaya with Diamonds, one of the rarest handbags ever crafted.
Often referred to as the “Holy Grail” of handbags, the Hermès Himalaya Birkin is revered for its unparalleled craftsmanship and ethereal beauty. Handcrafted from Niloticus crocodile leather, its breathtaking gradient — fading from smoky gray to pristine white — evokes the serene majesty of the Himalayas from which it takes its name.
Yet the piece sold by Lux Addicts in August 2025 is rarer still. Adorned with over 200 hand-set diamonds in 18k white gold hardware, it stands among the most exclusive creations in Hermès history — a masterpiece that blurs the line between accessory and art.
What elevates this sale beyond record figures is its story: the handbag was purchased by a distinguished gentleman as an anniversary gift for his wife — transforming a transaction into a symbol of devotion, elegance, and timeless love.
“Facilitating the sale of a piece this rare is an honor,” said a Lux Addicts spokesperson. “The Himalaya Birkin is the ultimate emblem of craftsmanship and scarcity — and to see it become part of a love story makes it even more special.”
Himalaya Birkins are produced in extraordinarily limited quantities, often reserved for Hermès’ most elite clientele. Versions featuring diamonds are nearly mythical, appearing only at the world’s top auctions — where they can fetch well over one million dollars.
The successful sale of this exceptional piece once again underscores Lux Addicts’ authority and global reach in the ultra-luxury resale market. Known for its meticulous authentication, expert sourcing, and discreet client service, Lux Addicts continues to elevate the standard of modern luxury commerce — one masterpiece at a time.
