Hermes handbag is the most famous designer handbags in the world. Hermes handbags have earned their reputation as the most sought-after handbags in history. The Kelly bag was borned in the 1930's and soon made it a name in the designer handbag industry. The hermes birkin bag was designed with the actress Jane Birkin in mind.

Birkins come in sizes 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45cm. The 45 is a travel Birkin with slightly longer straps. There is also a similar bag called a Haut au Courries (means High Belts in French) that is slightly taller with shorter straps. The Haut au Courries, commonly known as the "tall Birkin", comes in 6 sizes 27, 32,45,50,55 and 60cm.

For leather, there are texured and smooth varieties. The most popular leather for Birkins right now is Togo, scratch resistant textured calf leather. You can also get smooth leathers, and goat leathers, as well as exotics. Some leathers -Togo, Clemence, Natural Barenia, Chevre - (goat,) Box (very smooth and shiny) Chamonix, are always around. Other leathers are produced for awhile, then get discontinued (Veau Graine Lisse, Courcheval for example.) These are usually the pressed leathers with a bit of texture and sheen.

Then there are colors. More than you can imagine. Reds, greens, oranges, browns, yellows... the most popular Birkin colors are Gold (really a rich tan color,) black and Blue Jean (a sky blue - gorgeous.)
