Hermes Croc Birkin
3.19.2008 | by Megs | under: Hermes Handbags
The Hermes Birkin is the holy grail of bags. While I feel lucky to own my Hermes Birkin in Blue Jean, it is evident that many are hugely ahead of me when it comes to collecting Hermes bags. As I dream of owning a croc Birkin someday, I find pleasure in drooling over others croc bags. Hermes does crocodile like no other designer, showing perfect attention to detail in every stitch and using the best exotics. A member of our forum, WhiteBirkin, has an astounding Hermes collection. Her two new editions have my heart. She picked up a 30cm Rouge Vif Nilo Birkin and 30cm Blue Jean Porosus Birkin. The Porosus crocodile comes from Australia while the Niloticus crocodile comes from Africa. These crocodiles meet Hermes standards and go on to make the most stunning bags. My only problem is deciding which of these bags I love more, I am stumped!
OMG! I am feverishly trying to snag a Birkin. I don’t own one, had the opportunity for one a few weeks ago, but couldn’t afford it! Drama. Anyway, this is are so gorgeous. What a way to start my day!
The 30cm Blue Jean Porosus Birkin is my favorite! That color is so fascinating and complex.

I am new here, Hi (wave). I love the purple one. If I ever get lucky enough to buy a Birkin’s, I’d go for the orange one first lol
, not that I’d complain about any other colours though.
Fabulous
OMG! Absolutely drool-worthy!
Absolutely stunning and drool worthy bags! Congrats to WhiteBirkin
Enjoy them bags!!!
….poveri coccodrilli….
Divine!!!
Are Birkin bags simply status symbols now? While I love all the quality and workmanship that goes into these Crocodile Birkin bags, I am wondering if other women my age (45) feel at all that the style of a Birkin or a Kelly is best suited to a younger woman? Does the style of handbag you carry age you?Although I collected structured lady-like bags in my 20’s and early 30’s, I now feel that I like softer styles, say for example Hermes’ Lindy or even the Paris-Bombay. One other question and PLEASE somebody comment. When we see comments that this brand or that brand has ripped-off or copied the Birkin or Kelly style I’m often bewildered because when I look at old movies from the 30s, 40s, 50s, it seems that all the handbags ladies carried were more or less in the structured style of a kelly, weren’t they? Anybody agree or disagree? Maybe this needs to be moved to the purse forum, sorry admins.
The ostrich is better.
Yummy!!
To Dimon, I agree that handbags did seem to be more structured in the movies 30s 40s 50s. It seems the current style now is to be more structured also, look at the YSL styles that are very popular, they are definitely more structured. I am just a little younger than you and I like carrying structured bags they are very stylish and I also carry softer styles depending on what I feel like. I don’t think a handbag ages you at all.
Oh I like that blue one!
I honestly think that the croc birkins are the prettiest Hermes bags around…
Oh Megs… I saw it!!! Unbelievable…My goodness!!! I’m SO excited!! Thank you for posting it so beautifully! I’m honored to have it posted on the main page!!!!
LOVELY BAGS and the colors are great.A croc bag would make me very happy!
Comment to DIMON: Personally I think that these Hermes Kellys and Birkins would better suit a bit older ladies. Come on,where in the world do young girls even afford a real Hermes bags?
O M F G!!!
i have 3 birkins.
a lizard one, a red one, and a black one that my grandma
gave me when i was 17. =]
comment to mette and dimon: yeah mette is right. its better for older ladies. i mean like unless your a young celeb like say Lindsey Lohan(has an orange and jean colour birkins) people would just think it was fake.
Both of these bags are FABULOUS!!!!! Croc Birkins are the most drool-worthy bags in the world, imo. Next time I have tens of thousands of extra $ just lying around I’ll buy one for myself! Congrats to WhiteBirkin-Enjoy!!!
I have both niloticus and porosus, a 35cm shinny braise porosus, a 35cm havanna matte porosus and my prefered a niloticus 35 cm shinny black. the niloticus is smoother and easy to open compare to the porosus hard and stronger to open.
I think.
but the style is fun for the 2 crocs.
BLUE HERME’S BIRKIN
What value would the Blue Jean Leather Birkin be … never used and still in it’s beautiful Herme’s box!
