Hermes Breeding Crocs For Leather

Posted on: June 9, 2009 By: Meghan ( 2 ) Comments

Looks like PETA is slacking hard core right now… French designer, Hermes, has resorted to breeding its own crocodiles on farms in Australia to try to meet the demand for the leather bags (said the CEO on Monday). Customers are waiting several years for certain exotic-skin bags (that cost about $48k, btw).

“It can take three to four crocodiles to make one of our bags so we are now breeding our own crocodiles on our own farms, mainly in Australia,” Patrick Thomas told the Reuters Global Luxury Summit in Paris.

Hermes already faces a major challenge producing 3,000 crocodile bags a year, Thomas said, adding: “The world is not full of crocodiles, except the stock exchange! We cannot face demand. We have massive over-demand. We are limited by our ability to train new craftsmen,” he added.

Ugh, that’s so gross. It’s almost like breeding puppies, and skinning them so you can wear ‘em. Disgusting.

Oooh I’d love a crocodile bag! Damn the luck - I can’t afford one. I’ll have to start saving up.
