Specialist note

The Hermès Himalaya is crafted from Niloticus crocodile. It is famous for its delicate gradation of color: fading from a smoky grey into a pearly white, resembling the majestic, snow-capped Himalaya mountain range. By using precious materials, coupled with exquisite craftsmanship, the Himalaya is the ultimate expression of the artistry and tradition of the storied Hermès House.
