Manufacturing process

Hermès Evercolor Leather selects high - quality calfskin as raw material and goes through many fine processing procedures. First, the original leather is strictly screened to ensure no flaws. Then, a special tanning process is used to make the leather have good flexibility and durability. In the tanning process, a special resin formula is added to make the resin fully penetrate into the leather fibers, thereby enhancing the scratch - resistance and waterproof performance of the leather. Finally, through fine polishing, dyeing, and other processes, the leather presents the ideal color and texture.

  • Handbag series: Many classic handbag styles of Hermès use Evercolor Leather, such as the Roulis pig - nose bag, Kelly Bag, Constance bag, etc. These handbags have become classic works in the fashion industry with their exquisite design and high - quality leather materials.
  • Small leather goods: It is also often used to make small leather goods such as wallets, card holders, and key chains. These products are not only practical but also can show the brand charm and exquisite craftsmanship of Hermès, adding highlights to daily collocations.

Comparison with other leathers

  • Compared with Togo leather: Togo leather has a coarser grain pattern, similar to litchi - like leather, with a moderate hardness and roughness. Evercolor Leather, on the other hand, has smaller particles, is more delicate, appears more refined than Togo leather, and is relatively stiffer and less prone to deformation.
  • Compared with Epsom cowhide: Epsom cowhide is post - embossed, with a hard texture and a shiny feel, but it is relatively hard. Evercolor Leather is softer than Epsom cowhide, with a better hand feeling. At the same time, it retains a certain degree of stiffness, achieving a good balance between durability and aesthetics.
  • Compared with Box calfskin: Box calfskin is one of the most classic calfskins of Hermès. The leather is delicate and shiny, but it has poor waterproof performance, is soft and not wear - resistant, and is prone to scratches. Evercolor Leather is slightly inferior to Box calfskin in terms of fineness, but it performs better in terms of waterproof, wear - resistant, and scratch - resistant aspects, and is more suitable for daily use.
