Shopping, errands, day to day: I do bring a White Clemence Kelly 28cm along with me on errands and it’s an
easy bag for the purpose – there’s a shoulder strap, ample room, and a secure
top so things don’t fall over in the car. However, I do have to say that if I’m
carrying lots of items and taking things in and out frequently, I find a tote
easier to wear – you don’t have to “unclasp” anything to get items out and
there’s lots of room. On those days, I usually carry a Garden Party.
The
skin must be inspected for defects before it can be cut. Cows have wounds and mosquito bites
that only become apparent when the hide is tanned. and crocodile skin with insect bites
are unacceptable. All defects are
circled with a white marker and cut out. All
skins are cut by press machines except for crocodile and alligator, which are
extremely fragile and valuable. Instead,
reptile skins are done by hand using a paring knife or press knives. Due to their constant demand, the
Kelly and Crocodile Porosus Hermes Birkin bags have cutting plates with subtle differences in size
because different skins vary in elasticity.
The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) from Australia is
the most expensive reptile skin to work with. It has square scales in the
middle of the belly and four to five small round scales down either side. It’s aesthetically more attractive
because the scales are more symmetrical. The
second is the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) from Africa. It has big square scales in the middle
and then two lines of big round scales down the side. The third most expensive is the
American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), which comes from a farm owned
by Hermes in Florida. It has small rectangular scales in the middle and
smaller, oval-shaped scales down the sides.
If your new year’s resolution included buying
more Hermes Birkin 30CM Togo or accessories, then you might want to move some money between your accounts and make some power moves, because time is of the
essence. Bothusers on our
Forum and shopping site Mizhattan have confirmed that Hermes
will make a significant price increase in US boutiques before the end of the mont.
