Hermès Birkin 35 Amethyst Porosus Crocodile with Palladium Hardware
Hermès Birkin 35 Amethyst Porosus Crocodile with Palladium Hardware
Hermès' 35cm Birkin bag, crafted from Porosus crocodile, is a dazzling example of the brand's unparalleled skill in working with exotic skins. Porosus crocodile, known as the most luxurious and expensive leather in the world, originates from the saltwater crocodiles inhabiting the brackish waters of Australia and Southeast Asian countries like Singapore. This particular leather is created by polishing the spots with agate, giving it a "Lisse Finish," enhancing its exclusivity.
The color of this Birkin bag, akin to a deeply saturated amethyst, showcases what Hermès can achieve with such a prestigious material. The small, square, and symmetrical scales of the Porosus crocodile amplify the rich purples and light violets, paired with Palladium hardware, resulting in a calm and beautiful effect. This isn't merely a bag; it's a statement piece that reflects the craftsmanship, innovation, and meticulous attention to detail that Hermès is celebrated for, making it more than just the most purple shade of purple in the world. It's a work of art that stands as a testament to the brand's mastery in creating jewel tones.
