Alligator Mississippiensis

A skin that comes from the Mississippi Alligator, this leather is created by polishing the spots with agate for a Lisse finish. Easily identifiable by the scales still present on the skin, this is a rare finish on Hermes handbags and usually only found on limited edition or special order bags. Due to the difficulty in finding skins large enough, it is more common to see this skin on a size 25 Birkin.
