LEATHER INTRODUTION
HERMES
This embossed leather is named after a city in southeastern Argentina famous for horse racing. The detailed and regular texture obtained by mechanical embossing has a clear two-tone color and a sense of delicacy.
TOGO calf leather
The intensive barrel-rolling process brings out the natural grain of the leather, and the name comes from the theme of the launch year: the African country of Togo.
SWIFT calf leather
This very soft and delicate leather was named after Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels, because of its close resemblance to GULLIVER calf leather, which is no longer used today.
EVERCOLOR calf leather
A one-two punch with EVERGRAIN calf leather, with a similar softness and a rich FOREVER color.
CHAMKILA
Like the other goatskins used by Hermès, this type of goatskin comes from India and has a noble and elegant character, with a very fine, glossy texture. The origin of its name is also true to its name: the word CHAMKILA means “bright” in Hindi.
BOX calf leather
BOX calfskin is the signature leather of Hermès, named after the BOX leather technique originating in England. This technique gives the leather a unique feel and look, bringing depth and life to more somber tones.
EVERGRAIN calfskin
EVERCALF A close relative of calfskin, with a similar softness, but with an understatedly detailed and very regular embossed effect, as its name calls for.
