These bags are stunning, and if they did it in ostrich I'd be faint
Hermes using the Art of Japanese Aizome
- Thread starter Hermes Zen
- Start date
Although I can’t say they do use this method on textiles etc, however I had purchased this Petit H apron couple years ago. When I saw it, it reminded me of aizome shibori. I should have asked!
As you know Petit H uses materials from other H items. I’d never seen this fabric in the store. Maybe someone else has? Be great if someone can confirm. TIA!

They do! I saw a Constance ostrich aizome in person; unfortunately didn’t remember to take photos. They come in pigskin, croc, ostrich and lizard and as mentioned 3 different “shades” of light to dark blue.
Amazing and I am very happy to see new options being added to the Hermes stable of very special leathers. Pun intended. 😄
@momoc thank you for posting this. I was wondering about the bleeding issue, because my aizome t-shirt bleeds and color transfers to my hands whenever I wear them. But I'm glad this part on the booklet answered that. Now I'm looking forward to see it appear on peau de porc.

@DoggieBags shared her Porc Birkin here.
@Lumine believes it's an Aizome dyed item.
Congrats on the lovely porc b25!
I believe its actually an aizome (ancient japanese blue dye process) porc birkin! Porc came usually only in toffee, but also VERY VERY rare in 3 shades of aizome blue - hanada, ai, tomekon (shade from lightest to darkest) in the recent 3 years. I tried very hard to hunt one down to no avail! Aizome is also being used on Porosus croc k25,k28,b25, ostrich and also recently lizard in addition to porc.
So really really happy for you to have gotten such a beautiful and rare bag!Wear it often!!

(posted by a pretty famous Hermes collector on RED, who I’m pretty sure besides all 3 aizome - and toffee - porc also has collected the aizome croc Bs. In fact she posted the first Aizome pieces I ever saw back in 2021)

that mid-blue Ai is calling my name
i love aizome!
Sharing a fabulous aizome art piece from petit H fresh from paris. Apart from the aizome porosus croc, there's also aizome denim on this hanging piece. If i had the space and ceiling.... luckily i didn't and thus got to save some money haha.
There's also a very limited aizome porosus kelly belt with blue sapphires for those with very thick wallets and pretty slender waists, and it was lovely to see in person! Forgot to take any pictures of that though!

I read your post and my brain registered one less zero, and I immediately thought "wow not bad...I'll get one next time I'm in Paris".
Then I went back to read it again and got the heart attack...lol.

Thanks for sharing!
I still never truly understand what’s in a CITES, I looked at the one that came with my b aizome and it has a date in 2021 and another date in 2023. Wondered if the croc skin was acquired in 2021 and birkin manufactured or ready for sale in 2023.
