This is the latest batch of Hermès Evelyne 19 bags manufactured by our Shebag factory. This particular one is a Snow White, made from white Togo leather — not a single flaw is allowed, because any scratch or imperfection is easily visible on white leather.

Of course, this doesn’t mean our black leather is of lesser quality. We require all Hermès leathers to be free of scabs, bite marks, or scratches. This level of leather is the most expensive, and we’ve been working with European tanneries for years to ensure access to top-grade hides.

Then comes the hardware and craftsmanship. We use high-hardness steel for the hardware, coated with gold plating — specifically, palladium, known for its excellent scratch resistance and higher cost.

As for stitching, hand stitching is a must — it’s the craftsmanship standard of our Shebag artisan workshop.
