Find out more about Alligator & Crocodile skins
These are the most precious and exclusive exotic leathers used by Hermès. Porosus crocodile and Niloticus crocodile feature symmetrical scales and come in shiny (Lisse) or matte finishes. Alligator comes from the Mississippi river and is renowned for its larger scales and intense color depth.
Appearance: Structured scales, either highly glazed or matte
Feel: Structured and textured
Hand: Rigid
Change over time: Develops a deep patina; shiny finish softens, while matte finish acquires a subtle glow
The story behind
A chance encounter on a flight between Paris and London in 1984 sparked the creation of the Birkin. Actress Jane Birkin complained to Jean-Louis Dumas, the Executive Chairman of Hermès, about her struggle to find a bag suitable for her needs as a young mother. Dumas immediately sketched a spacious, rectangular holdall with a burnished flap and saddle stitching, and the Birkin was born.

Only 5cm deep so it lies flat against me, which is why I chose it over the bigger Jypsiere. Phone, cardholder, keys, a folded tote. It came with just the dustbag and the receipt, no box, so the unboxing was less of a moment than I hoped.
I take it to meetings instead of a folio and people notice it quietly rather than loudly, which is the whole point for me. Barenia Faubourg is already...More
I take it to meetings instead of a folio and people notice it quietly rather than loudly, which is the whole point for me. Barenia Faubourg is already darkening at the corners where my hand sits after about six months. Some people hate that, I think it's the best part.
