The overwhelming presence and charm of crocodiles

Hermès is a French luxury brand that has captivated the world with its highest quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship since its establishment as a harness workshop in 1837.

Among its offerings, items made from crocodile leather are particularly noteworthy.
Hermès crocodile items, with their rarity, overwhelming beauty, and asset value, are coveted by fashion enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Hermès uses three types of crocodile leather:
Porosus, Niloticus, and Alligator.
Only carefully selected, high-quality hides are used.

Porosus, in particular, is considered the finest, with its fine, evenly-arranged scales (“bamboo” pattern) and luster, and its value is increasing as a difficult-to-obtain material.

Unique Beauty and Finish

Crocodile leather comes in two types of finishes, shiny (lisse) and matte, each radiating a different charm.
Shiny leather, with its jewel-like luster, is perfect for glamorous occasions, while matte leather offers a calm and elegant atmosphere.
The beauty of the scale patterns varies with each individual item, creating a unique and special feel.
