Hermes handbags are every woman’s dream accessory,no matter in Shanghai or New York,carrying a KELLY or BIRKIN handbag is like getting a ticket to the upper society. However,Hermes has a very strict hierarchy,it is not easy to even get to see a leather BIRKIN bag within the retail stores,not to mention a Himalayan Niloticus Crocodile BIRKIN,which stands at the top of the pyramid.
The design of the Himalayan series first started in the 1990s,but the dying process at that time was not able to cover the skin of niloticus crocodile with uniform light colors,resulting in the color of ‘Vert Celadon Natura’. It wasn’t until 2000 that Hermes made several refinements to the process,culminating in the current matt white and matt grey Himalayan Birkin handbags. The color is clear and white in the middle and gradually transit from light to dark gray on the sides,as pure and solemn as the Himalayas.
Since the niloticus crocodile leathers are extremely rare,the processing is very time consuming and complicated,it is extremely hard to transit the color of the skin from light to deep,the Himalayan have therefore won the legendary status in the handbags. As for Himalayan BIRKIN handbags,they have become the“holy grail”of all Himalayan handbags; only very few of them are made each year. As a result,Hermes Himalayan Birkin handbags have set the record for the most expensive handbags worldwide. They are not only noble and beautiful,but also highly liquid and have high investment value.
This Himalayan Birkin handbag presented at 2020 Hong Kong and Beijing Joint Auction is 30cm in length with a delicate texture and excellent condition. It is the most prestigious handbag of Hermes and also the best choice for the high-level collectors and users.
