Apart from a mix of exotic skins, Hermes provides a wide range of leathers for their famous Hermes bags.
Veau Swift: Veau means calf in French, the word after it is usually the way the calf skin has been treated and/or stamped. This is a soft and sturdy calf skin for Bikin bags.
Veau Box: A stiff calf skin that wears to a beautiful patina but scratches easily.
Veau Epsom: Calf skin that has a smoother grain and is very stiff, one of my favorites.
Troika Calf hair: A delicate and gorgeous skin but it will wear around the edges. Not the most durable.
Veau Togo: One of the most popular skins from female calf skin, tumbled and printed. Togo is my absolute favorite. There are a large number of togo Hermes handbags in the market.
Vache Liege: Vache means cow in French you’ll see that cow skin is also thicker than calf skin. Liege is the way it is treated and stamped.
Vachette Crispee Fjord: Cow skin in a heavy and looser texture.
Chevre Mysore: Goatskin, increasingly difficult to find at Hermes bags quality. No longer been used for making Birkin bag since 2006.
Taurillon Clemence: The softest and most durable of skins made of Bull leather. The grain is looser than the Veau skins.
Buffle: Buffalo skin is as tough as you can get. This is usually used for luggage.
