More and more fashionistas are obsessed with Hermes bags in exotic leathers, and crocodile/alligator leather has come into the mainstream. The distinctive natural scales, folds and ridges make crocodile and alligator leathers tough and durable. The backbone of the hide is rigid and difficult to work with, while the underbelly part provides a pliable and smooth portion of leather. Skin from the belly is extremely durable and becomes softer with time and use. The most distinguishing feature of alligator leather is the umbilical scar which is not possessed by any other crocodilian leather. Crocodile and alligator leather will last a lifetime if cared for properly. Cleaning a croc Hermes handbag only need a damp cloth and air drying. Cleaning agent should never be used on croc leather, and leather Hermes bags need to be put inside dust bags and sleepers when they are not being used, so the leather and shape are kept in good condition as newly bought.
