The demand for exotic bags extremely outweighs the supply and, except for the lucky person who happens to be in an Hermès store at the right time, exotics are held for VIP customers. No one except Hermès knows how many exotic Birkins and Kellys are made annually, but the last statistic on exotic bag production was about 3,000 bags a year. That was several years back, so I would assume production is up substantially. Any number encompasses all exotic bags, not only the Birkin and Kelly. Regardless, Hermès cannot keep pace with the popularity of its exotics. I think that for the budget conscious Hermès lover, a preowned croc is an excellent way to either “dip” into the exotic category, or to add to her collection. Marron d'Inde is not often seen, and is a coveted coloration for its simplicity, yet complexity in tone. But, when this color is done in Alligator, there is simply no comparison. This Birkin bag, in combination with its fantastic color, impeccable scales, and flawless condition, becomes a holy grail for collectors and the savvy Hermès shoppers alike. There will simply be none other like it.

Hermès

The legendary French luxury goods house began as a harness workshop in Paris in 1837. By the twenties, Hermès had the patent for the zipper in France, and introduced the first ladies’ bags with zip closures, and in 1937, the first Hermès silk scarves were born (today, a scarf is allegedly sold every twenty seconds). The company expanded into riding gloves, belts, and men’s and women's sportswear, and designed the now-famous travel trunks to meet the needs of the new automobile drivers. The Kelly bag debuted in 1956 after Grace Kelly used a large crocodile handbag to hide her pregnancy. In the seventies, the first women's shoe collection and the first complete men's ready-to-wear collection were introduced. Actress Jane Birkin replaced her old straw purse with a leather Hermès number in 1984, and started the rage that is the Birkin bag. Today the Birkin continues to have the longest waiting list of any luxury accessory. Hermès also has a complete home line, bed and bath linens, furniture, silverware, crystal and porcelain, office accessories, and baby gifts. In 2003, following Martin Margiela, Jean-Paul Gaultier joined the house as women's ready-to-wear designer, putting a high-fashion spin on the label’s equestrian roots. After departing in May 2010, Christophe Lemaire, who is best known for reviving preppy label Lacoste, took the reigns. In June 2004, perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena took a post as the in-house perfumer and launched several scents that have amassed cultish popularity. There are over 240 Hermès boutiques internationally, including a Wall Street location, the North American flagship on Madison Avenue, and in the fall of 2009, the first menswear-only boutique right across the street.
