Crocodile leather comes from skins that are both prestigious and extremely hard to come by and about 2 crocodiles are needed to create a Hermes handbag by the designer,for only the best part of the skin is used, which comes from the cheeks and from the belly of the animal. That is the reason why a genuine crocodile bag are so expensive, hence you can rest assured that you are buying an exclusive and prestigious product.Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish crocodile skin from alligator or caiman skin. Alligators and crocodiles are considered the classic leathers and they are of high quality and very expensive. Alligators and crocs come on different finishes.For example, glossy finish and matte finish.Some skins are old and some come from younger skins.Now a days crocs and gators can be as soft or softer than calf skin due to the treatment.
Caiman is a product of inferior quality. Very often, products made with caiman leather are marked as items made with crocodile or alligator skin and sold at very high prices, under false pretences masquerading as this precious skin. These leathers are anyway very similar, although on more careful examination, it’s impossible to distinguish between these skins without any difficulty. We can get a idea from the deep grooves . The grooves would have also some color differences such as a little darker or lighter if there not black.
Any way, while talking about the precious crocodile skin, we also should not forget that corcodile is a species under the danger of dying out in some region. I think it is more improtant for us to be aware of the source the corcodile skin and you must understand buying crocodile handbag from poacher is no better than killing them by your own hands.
