Birkins are a notoriously unstable variety when it comes to variegation. They’ll revert at the drop of a hat. It may have just been a fluke leaf too

My Birkin did this too. I saw somewhere that giving it more light helps produce more variegation. I put a grow light on it and it’s put out all fully striped leaves ever since 🥳
