Please note:

Wildlife Sightings, mean OUT in the wild' means and NOT in Hermes zoos stores where rare species are so easily found.

Please report images that are just pics of others' bags in H store (as well as for any other posts breaking tPFrules).

If you happen to take a pic of children and can't crop, please make sure you at least blur/obscure the child.

TY

That’s because crocs live in the water anyway so no biggie. :lol:

A croc bag will blister if it gets wet and it is damage that cannot be repaired. Water will ruin the skin. You're thinking of a living animal that lives in the water which is not the same. Year ago, Claude at the Madison store told me a story of a woman who came in with a crocodile birkin she'd just purchased and used once. She got caught in the rain and the entire bag blistered. He told her it was irreparable and she cried.

Actually I've always heard, also here on tPF, that water harms croc bags while ostrich is fine. I have no personal experience as I have no croc bags :sad:

Lol! Yes, I know, I was (of course) just kidding. But you are wise to put out that safety bulletin because humor does not always translate through the internet. We do not want tPF’ers all over the world to start swimming with their croc bags.

Additionally, while one may stand in a downpour with a cow with likely no adverse effects, it’s also probably not a good idea to stand in a downpour for any length of time with a hide not actually attached to said cow, or a bag made from that hide.
