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
Created in the 1930s, the Kelly bag was named in 1956 when Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco unveiled it to the world. Its shape and iconic details have since been adapted and redesigned to create small leather goods. Straps, claps, padlocks, leather bells and keys enhance wallets, coin purses or pouches that can be worn in many different ways.

Vert d'eau is the palest mint green and against matte alligator it looks like sea glass.

Pale exotics scare me but this one has stayed clean so far. Would never take it out in rain though.

25 in alligator is not a big bag. Phone, a small wallet, keys, and I have to leave the sunglasses at home. I take it out maybe four times a year and the rest of the time it sits in the box wrapped in the felt like a museum object.

If I ever lost this one I honestly wouldn't replace it, owning two matte alligator Kellys at once feels like too much to worry about.

I wanted something for errands that I could wear across the body without looking sporty. This is exactly that. 18 wide sounds tiny but the 8 of depth means it eats more than you expect. Phone, keys, wallet, a small pouch and a folded scarf all went in.

Wore it out for the first time to my birthday dinner in March and a stranger stopped me on the pavement to ask about the pink. Has never happened with any other bag I own. My friend thought the gris fonce was black until she was right up close.
