With Hermes Spring 2011, Jean Paul Gaultier ... is still surprising us...Picnic Kelly and Transparent alligator skin

I really love you, Birkin and Kelly,
but ..this??

There is a material known as Transparent crocodile/alligator!! We keep thinking to ourselves, is it even possible?
With Hermes and Jean Paul Gaultier, nothing seems impossible. This material is used in both Jackets and Bags. It’s a very unique material but then again, what do you think of it?

The birth of the "Picnic Kelly" (shown above) is the result of the marriage of wicker and Barenia calfskin, 2 contrasting materials and hence textures, which, interestingly enough, hasn't been attempted by Hermes...until now, that is!
