Specialist note

Christie's has helped cement the Hermes Himalaya crocodile handbag's status as the Holy Grail. It is truly a wearable work of art. Crafted from Niloticus crocodile skin, the Himalaya 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.
