Exotic Hermes handbags is staple of all Hermes luxury products. In the financial malaise, Hermes bags in croc, alligator, python, lizard and ostrich have been selling well, even in recent tumultuous weeks. Women are starting to think of something looks timeless and not so showy. Hermes Birkin, particularly in exotic skins has instantly recognizable superb quality and is surely taken for pricey. Of course, average people cannot afford a Hermes bag priced at least 5 figures. Only the wealthy people are privileged to own these extravagant bags.

Porosus crocodile from Australia: Most commonly found on Northern shores of Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia. Hermes does not glaze the Porosus croc skins so they will never peel. This skin is polished with an agate stone and the skin has to lay flat under the machine so once it is made into a bag, you will never be able to polish it again.

Niloticus crocodile from Africa: the ever popular matte croc is rich and sumptuous. (All crocs have to be at least 10 years old to meet Hermes handbags standards)

Mississippi Alligator: The best ‘gator skin in the world is from the US.

Lizard from Africa: Available in size 25cm or smaller due to the small size of lizards.

Ostrich from South Africa: Hermes uses the most incredible ostrich skins with flat quills. (Sited from jetsetsocialite.com)

Jane Birkin and namesake bag

Why there are so many ladies having a nice Hermes Birkin while money embarrasses them? I still remember clearly in season 4 of the TV show Girlfriends. Toni Childs buys a Birkin bag while knowing her husband is 750.000USD in debt. There are indeed ladies in real life having a mortgage payment and a Hermes bag. Some would chuckle at the woman who has a Birkin but can only pay the minimum balance on her massive credit card bill. They believe one should not be insanely obsessed with the bag and never buy it if she has to save for one. While others’ opinion is that even millionaires save up for a birkin. It is not simple bag, but a status symbol and worthy investment. The truth is you can still appreciate the beauty and perfection of Birkin Hermes handbag without getting your hands on one. A rational buy will start her collection with cheaper Hermes handbags such as Hermes Picotin, Kelly Pouchette, and would buy iconic Birkin only if she has the money in savings.
