Around the turn of the new millenium, Herm\u00e8s revisited this process, creating no more than <strong>10<\/strong> of these exquisite Kelly bags for private sale.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 2000\u2019s, Herm\u00e8s changed their proprietary process again, refining the painstaking technique to a finely practiced craft. The <strong>Matte White Himalayan<\/strong> was born, this time in both the Birkin and Kelly lines. Later, Herm\u00e8s added an exciting new variant, the <strong>Matte Gris Cendre Himalayan<\/strong> to their repertoire, completing a full circle as yet another reference to the Vert Celadon Natura colorway, and the bags of the early 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Was The Himalayan Made?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">In order to create the Matte White Himalaya coloration, the craftsman must first select a naturally light skin, which in itself is a daunting task to undertake. Then, like all skins, the hide is dry salted to preserve the material, soaked to clean the skin, limed for descaling, and de-limed to prepare the hide for pickling. The sample is then chrome tanned to turn the organic material inorganic, thus ensuring durability. The skin is then shaved and degreased to thin it out, re-tanned to soften the hide and make it workable, and finally dried. Only then can the secretive and proprietary dyeing process begin, which is highly guarded and a mystery to majority of outsiders.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hima-2.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Hermes 101 Himalayan Birkin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;The Himalayan Birkin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-33px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;42px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The True Rarity Of The Himalaya<\/h3>\n<p>Estimates on how many Matte White Himalayan bags exist vary, as this sort of production information is based purely on secondary market circulation. But since the coloration has been extended to items such as the Plume, Constance, and certain small exotic goods, it can be determined for certain that the Himalayan Birkin is among the most rare and highly sought after handbags Herm\u00e8s, or the world, has ever known.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Much Does The Himalaya Sell For?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">The retail price on a Himalayan birkin can vary based on size, with the largest size of 40cm standing at around $120,000. Coupling that price with the difficulty of acquiring one from the notoriously selective fashion house makes this bag nearly unattainable. Hence, at auctions, prices for these bags soar at a base of around $90,000 and reach as far as $380,000 for the versions with diamond-replete hardware, dependent on size and hardware type. In the private reseller market, prices can range from above $100,000 and climb to $150,000 with ease.<\/p>\n<p>The astronomical pricing of these highly coveted handbags may send your head spinning, but at Rebag, our price of $70,000 is seemingly more reasonable. At this level, the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance of luxury goods seems within reach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Rebag\u2019s Himalaya Birkin<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/hima-3.jpg&#8221;
