LOS ANGELES, CA.- An Herm鑣 Himalayan Birkin is expected to earn top-lot honors in
Heritage Auctions’ Autumn Luxury Accessories Auction Sept. 22 in Beverly Hills, California.
The Herm鑣 30cm Himalayan Niloticus Crocodile Birkin Bag with Palladium Hardware (estimate: $80,000-100,000) is a true collector’s piece, designed to resemble the beautiful snow-capped Himalaya mountains.
“Himalayans are extremely rare, and are the pinnacle of any Herm鑣 collection, only offered to VIP clients,” Heritage Auctions Luxury Accessories Director Diane D’Amato said. “Getting the skin that color entails an arduous dye process and is very hard to achieve, which is part of the reason why these bags represent the highest level of Herm鑣 craftsmanship.”
An Herm鑣 28cm Himalayan Niloticus Crocodile Plume Bag with Palladium Hardware (estimate: $45,000-65,000) boasts the same striking coloring.
The auction includes a selection of exquisite handbags done in various shades of purple, a rich jewel-tone enjoying a surge of popularity heading into the fall. Among the choices are several options from Herm鑣 in its classic Birkin and Kelly styles:
• Herm鑣 35cm Matte Amethyst Niloticus Crocodile Birkin Bag with Palladium Hardware (estimate: $30,000-40,000)
• Herm鑣 Crocus Alligator Kelly Pochette Bag with Gold Hardware (estimate: $22,000-28,000)
• Herm鑣 25cm Violet Niloticus Lizard Birkin Bag with Palladium Hardware (estimate: $20,000-24,000)

• Herm鑣 Limited Edition 35cm Black Evercalf Leather & Denim Shadow Birkin Bag with Palladium Hardware (estimate: $12,000-16,000)
