Hermès exotic skin handbags are worshipped by any Hermès lover and are virtually impossible to procure from an Hermès boutique. In recent years, Hermès has reserved their exotic handbags and accessories for their ultra VIP customers; those who have spent close to or above seven figures in store. This has created a scarcity of exotics, and we predict the price of these items in the secondary market will go up exponentially vs. the classic leather handbags.
Hermès is renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, which is reflected in the extensive variety of 32 different leathers used in the production of their iconic bags. Each leather possesses its own distinct characteristics, ensuring a diverse range of options for customers. From the smooth and supple Togo leather to the elegant and exotic alligator skin, Hermès showcases an unparalleled selection of materials.
While Hermès has introduced more limited edition bags in recent seasons, the most sought after bag remains the Hermès Himalayan. The Hermès Himalaya is named after the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayan mountains. Every Hermès Himalayan is only offered in a matte finish and is hand buffed with felt wool. This process creates a unique gradation that results in a truly one of a kind Hermès bag. While the Hermès Himalayan regularly leads the charts for most expensive Hermès bag, the bag's matte finish and stippled gray degradé mask most common signs of use.
