Hermes Potiron Orange Shiny Niloticus Crocodile Birkin 30 W/Palladium Hardware (Comes W/Dust Cover and Rain Jacket) - This exceptional handbag from Hermes is a must have for Hermes collectors and fashion lovers alike. This iconic handbag is the 30cm Birkin bag constructed of the coveted Niloticus Crocodile leather which is often lauded as the most precious of the brand's exotic skins. The leather is characterized by its symmetrical scale patterning which is known as the slightly larger cousin to the Porosus Crocodile, as well as by the as well as by the subtle double dot symbol stamped in silver beside the Hermes logo. The bag is crafted in a timeless and rich Potiron orange color which is a fabulous dark orange tone, trimmed with shiny palladium hardware. With luxury brands such as Chanel, Gucci and Michael Kors recently banning the use of exotic furs and skins, these alluring works of art could become even more scarce should Hermes follow suit. Birkins outperformed both gold and the S&P 500 stocks over the past 35 years with an annual return of 14.2%, compared with gold's 1.5% and stocks' 8.7%. With Hermes' recent elimination of the wait list and plans to further lower the current ultra-limited production, prices will likely continue to grow.
