The Himalaya Birkin bag was first sold in 2014 for $180,000, equivalent to more than 4.4 billion VND, considered the most expensive bag in the world. Since then, they have always been auctioned for record amounts.

According to Sotheby's - a famous auction house from England, the Hermès bag is made from Niloticus Crocodile skin dyed white and gray. The unique color of this Hermès bag is created by a complex and time-consuming process. Including a careful dyeing technique, creating a gradual fade from white to gray, reminiscent of the snow-capped Himalayan mountains.

Notably, the bag is also studded with diamonds and 18K white gold. The cadena lock alone consists of 68.4g of 18K white gold, studded with 40 round white diamonds with a total weight of 1.64 carats.

According to Hermès, only a few are produced each year, making this bag line rare. In 2021, the Himalaya Birkin size 25 was the most sought-after size and sold for more than $300,000 at Sotheby's, equivalent to more than 7.3 billion VND.

Another reason these bags are so expensive is because they are limited in quantity. Hermes only produces one or two bags per year. The Hermes handbag retailer claims that it is impossible to find two identical bags because each artisan only makes one bag per year.

Even celebrities and world-class celebrities have to wait in line for years to own this precious albino crocodile Birkin. According to fashion experts, the Hermes Himalayan Crocodile Birkin is one of the rarest and most desirable handbags in the world. This Birkin is truly stunning with its white crocodile skin and silver hardware, the unique leather enhances every detail of the bag.

This dyeing process is very elaborate and takes many hours to complete, the lighter the color, the more difficult the process. This is a timeless work of art and will forever be in fashion. Even if you have mone.y, you may not be able to buy one of these bags.

According to Rewind, Hermes only releases a handful of Himalayan Birkin bags each year because they rely on the skin of extremely rare albino crocodiles to make the bags. Each Birkin requires three whole crocodile skins. Hermes raises its own crocodiles in the vast deserts of Texas, on a special type of fine white sand that preserves the pure finish of the leather. No one but the most highly trained professionals are allowed to touch the crocodile skin.
