One of the rarest and most prestigious handbags ever created, this Himalaya Hermès Birkin is the pinnacle of every collection. Manufactured in highly limited numbers from Crocodile Niloticus, its colouring reflects the sublime tinges of the Himalayan mountain range. Part of the unique colours has to do with the crocodile skin's natural colour qualities, but the rest is a result of meticulous finishing techniques. This exclusive collector's item was handcrafted in 2015 and purchased by a private Danish collector.
