Why do Berkins Croc leather bags cost so much?

Quality and Materials used

Crocodile leather is regarded as one of the finest leathers in the world. The high price tag of these bags ensures they are not made of faux leather. Crocodile leather is obtained from the Nile or Saltwater in Asia and Australia. This type of leather is of extremely fine quality and better than other leathers in terms of Skin texture and patterns.

Moreover, the hardware of these bags is crafted from precious metals. Hermes handbags have palladium or gold-plated locks, buckles, and keys. Metals such as platinum and palladium are extremely rare. Some bags even have diamonds on them. The use of precious metals in the hardware is one reason why they are so expensive.

Meticulous craftsmanship

A big part of the reason why Hermes bags are expensive is because of their handmade nature. Making them requires meticulous craftsmanship. All Hermes bags use a specific stitching method dating back to the 17th century in France. Each of these bags is handcrafted by just one designer, who will use the most expensive materials for every single bag. Processes are always conducted with exactitude and care from start to end. The whole process can therefore take weeks or even months to complete. This may explain the fame of this company and the large amount of profit it has made since its inception.

All of these exotics are used throughout Hermès’s leather goods and are what adds to the exclusivity of these bags. And while every fashionista dreams of owning a Hermes Birkin croc leather bag, the process of getting it is not for the faint of heart. As the leading bag of choice, Berkin bags by Hermes have become a fashion staple over time, and they are unlikely to go out of style anytime soon.
