Recap of Hermes's famous leather

The brand has a long history and produces many unique leather styles with an incredibly neat pattern. We try to indicate the famous leather for the purpose of learning, focusing on handbags. Let's see how many are in here, but remember that this is not all!

Hermes luxury handbag has 2 kinds of stitching;

Visible stitching is called: Sellier, and Invisible stitching is called Retourne. If you are a very neat person and prefer a formal elegant look then you should go for "Sellier" because the handbag's corner and shape are set in place with a perfect geometric form. However, if you are looking for something that matches your vacation, the informal but still elegant "Retourne" should be the one, with the round corner and look gentler.
