Herme handbags - Worth the crocodile tears!

The clear indication of a woman’s personality is predicted by her choice of accessories that she wears. Sometimes more than the clothes, the perfume she wears or the hand bag she carries or the jewellery she endorses speaks of her iconic style. Celebrity women are known to be seen with their exclusive and patent accessories they never leave home without. Actor Lindsey Lohan’s favourite Hermes handbag made news when it was stolen from an airport. That’s how much Hermes handbags are coveted! Hermes handbags have become omnipresent as the ultimate designer handbags for the last 170 years when a French family started its production outside Paris. The family business has grown and diversified too. But the flagship product-Hermes handbags are still in demand. The waiting period is nearly two years for this exclusive personal accessory. The luxury associated with Hermes is known worldwide, continues throughout the years and seasons and transcends across generations. That being the main reason it has become an essential item in the celebrity wish list.

One of the most popular amongst Hermes handbags is the crocodile leather handbag. The Crocodylus porosus is an exotic staple of the house, highly sought after, highly stunning, and highly priced. Hermes has been able to achieve high quality in this product mainly due to their crocodile farm in Australia. These handbags look stunning and are very strong as well. These handbags are made from super fine leather with a great deal of craftsmanship involved in producing it. One of the examples of such a grand price tag was the rare dark red crocodile Hermes 45cm Haut A Courroies (this was the model) made in 1972. In an auction, that bag was said to be sold for a reported $40,700. The price was not out of this world, as many Hermes items that are rare may go for much more.

Genuine Hermes can be bought in exclusive stores in Paris. The Hermes Birkin bag is one such accessory. What’s more while this year’s recession dipped the sales of other brands, Hermes were ready to show an increased number of sales especially in the Asian markets. In places like South Korea and China these luxury handbags have become very popular. It has now become a challenge for women to still buy luxury items while the economy sags. And when it is the coveted Hermes Bag, then women are still pooling their resources to have one of those special editions.
