Today, we are showcasing the Hermès Constance bag in Pink Epsom leather. This bag is notoriously difficult to purchase from boutiques, often involving a waitlist of over six months. Because of this, Shebag has promptly developed this top-tier replica version.

About the Leather:

• “Epsom leather” is a popular embossed calfskin used by Hermès. It is characterized by its fine, regular grain, firm structure, vibrant color saturation, and excellent scratch resistance.
• While Hermès has acquired/taken control of tanneries like Tanneries du Puy (France), it doesn’t rely on a single external source. Instead, it operates on a “self-owned + close partnership” model and owns multiple tanneries in France.
• Critically, Hermès sources its Epsom leather from external suppliers rather than producing it in-house. This is precisely how Shebag is able to procure leather of the very same quality.

About the Hardware:

• The “silver-plated palladium” hardware process used by Hermès involves first plating a layer of silver (approx. 1 µm thick) onto a brass base, followed by a layer of palladium (approx.2 µm thick).
• Shebag manufactures its hardware following this exact process. While palladium is more costly, it provides excellent wear and rust resistance, resulting in a superior user experience.
