HERMES VIBRATOR

It's no longer often that you see a Hermes vibrato birkin for sale at Hermes. In fact, from what I was told, they have since stopped production of the vibrato leather birkins (and kellys) because of the more laborious and time consuming process-- most vibrato birkins today are especially ordered and take so long to be completed-- if these orders can be fulfilled at all :( 

Some people have mistaken vibrato for fabric. Vibrato is not a fabric of some sort. It is in fact, stacked leather-- which is why the process to make it is more laborious. Strips of leather are stacked together painstakingly to create that look-- think of it as a cross- section of the stacked leathers. There you have it :)

Vibrato birkins are normally paired with box leather such as this one:

And then you have the vibrato birkin body paired with a togo leather flap and handles. It's not often you see this pairing too-- it is in fact, very rare.

I feel that vibrato leather birkins have been so under- appreciated in the past, but if you are looking for that extra special something that perhaps other Hermes bag- loving women don't always have, go for a vibrato leather bag. It's not as difficult to get exotic leather birkins as it is a vibrato birkin these days (yep, vibrato's harder to get!), plus the price difference of course is staggering-- the exotic leather one being way more expensive!
