Both the Himalaya Birkin and Kelly are instantly recognized for their look rather than their shape.
Made in France, the bag has the signature twist lock on the front, a top handle, and protective studs on the base. The term Himalaya refers to the color gradation. It takes a painstaking amount of hours to dye crocodile leather and even more to particularly achieve the fading shades on the bags—a detail meant to bring alive visions of the snow tipped Himalayas. Well believed to be one of the rarest bags in the world, the Himalaya Kelly is created by Hermès in very limited numbers.
