Hermès Crocodile Bags

Hermès crocodile bags are the epitome of the atelier’s luxury leather goods. Of the coveted Hermès Birkin handbags, brand aficionados recognize the true pinnacle is the hand-dyed Himalaya crocodile Birkin bag with diamond-encrusted palladium hardware. Of course, these remarkable bags are offered in many vibrant colors, sophisticated neutrals, and whisper-soft pastel shades. Crocodile skin in lighter colors can darken with frequent contact with the oils in your hand. Using colorful Twillies tied around the handles protects them from darkening with use. 

Hermès crocodile bags are the most prized of the line’s exotic skin bags. The prominent scales contribute immense elegance and flair while making each bag unique. Hermès artisans take care to precisely center the hide‘s umbilical scar on the bag’s front. Those who own a crocodile Hermès bag learn to recognize their bag from all others by its pattern of scales. 

Crocodile Birkin & Kelly Bags for Sale

Crocodiles are nearly twice the size of alligators, so the smallest Hermès bags and wallets are generally made of alligator, while crocodile is primarily reserved for the larger sizes. Our curated collection of Hermès crocodile bags includes Birkins, Kelly bags, and Kelly Cuts. Our selection is always changing. Occasionally, we’ll offer a larger-sized Constance in crocodile.

When you spot a bicolor crocodile Kelly bag or Birkin, it is a bespoke Special Order (HSS) bag crafted at the direction of a brand VIP. However, the bags that are made from a conventional leather like Togo or Novillo with just the flap, sangles, and handles in crocodile skin are from the 2017 Touch collection. These rare and unique Hermès bags offer “a touch” of the exotic.  

Treat yourself to a chic Hermès crocodile bag for an experience of distinctive luxury.

Hermès Crocodile Bags FAQs

What makes Hermès Crocodile bags so unique and valuable?

Every Hermès Crocodile bag is unique due to the individual arrangement of the scales of the animal skin. Those who own such a bag learn to identify it by the scales alone. Although not yet endangered, crocodiles are at risk, so Hermès sources the exotic skin from farmers who raise the animals from egg to maturity. The belly skin is prized, requiring a mature animal of at least 1.2 meters. The farmers work to ensure no scratch or damage occurs as the animal grows to ensure the skin will be pristine. As a result, the look and feel of a premium crocodile bag is impossibly elegant.

How do I ensure the Hermès Crocodile bag I purchase is authentic?

The best way to ensure the Hermès Crocodile bag you purchase is authentic is to shop only with reputable Hermès dealers like Madison Avenue Couture. We offer a 100% authenticity guarantee to back our commitment to providing only genuine luxury handbags. There are several details to help you verify the authenticity of an Hermès bag. 

A key specific to crocodile bags is the Hermès stamp inside the bag. Every Hermès Crocodile bag is crafted from Niloticus or Porosus crocodile skin. The name stamp is marked with a “••” (two dots) for Niloticus skin and a “ˆ” (carat) mark for a Porosus bag.
