Specialist note

Porosus Crocodile is considered to be the most desirable and precious exotic skins amongst collectors of Hermès. Recognized for their nearly symmetrical scales, Porosus Crocodile skins feature a tiny pore on each scale. This small, but significant, distinction sets Porosus Crocodile bags apart from those crafted from Alligator or other collectible exotics.
