We love love love the Ombre looks Hermes gives us with the exotic lizard leather and also the Himalaya Crocodile, which is just stunning. Let’s dive deeper into the Hermes Ombre Birkin bag. The bag was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier at his tenure at Hermes in the early 200’s. While JPG was designing for the brand he actually designed the Hermes Birkin 25cm size. The smallest Birkin that is available besides the super Limited Edition Birkin 20’s, which just came out a year or two ago - however not easy accessible for regular clients.

The Hermes Ombre Lizard Birkin was launched in 2007 and has become a major game changer for Hermes. We love that this Ombre Lizard Birkin is so rare and also is super delicate making it a very special bag. This Hermes Ombre Lizard Birkin bag is white with tan to brown colors throughout however over time, oxidation happens turning the white of the Ombre Lizard leather to a yellowish color. You cannot avoid oxidation with this Ombre Lizard leather because just the air alone will oxidize the leather plus if you live in a humid region, it will speed up the process. Another thing to do is to make sure to keep this delicate lizard Birkin out of direct sunlight to preserve the bag as much as possible. Lizard leathers are known to peel and be very fragile so never get this bag close to water!

All in all this amazing super limited edition Ombre Lizard Bag from Hermes is only reserved for the special VIP clients and are only producers in limited quantities. I would suggest getting a different Ombre Lizard piece from Hermes before the Holy Grail Birkin Ombre Lizard bag as you can see the leather more up close and live with it for a while to see the upkeep.
