I’ve been offered a Niloticus Croc birkin 25 but my stomach cannot physically take looking at the bag. I stumbled onto pictures of some of the crocs in a factory and I just feel awful. I know that Hermès uses leather and obviously it’s from cows, but crocodiles are just a step too far :(

I was fully imagining a Hermes x Crocs collab

I read some time ago that Hermes is working on a mushroom leather but I think it will take time for them to roll out the iconic bags in those materials. And leather models will probably always exist because there is demand (not an endorsement, just an observation).

Why do you feel bad for cold-blooded predators that literally kill people every year by slowly drowning them, but don’t feel bad for vegetarian mammals that have been shown to have emotional attachments to their babies and their fellow cows?

Crocodiles do not have the complex nervous system that mammals have—they don’t experience pain or fear or love like we do and are almost exclusively driven by prey instinct. Crocodiles aren’t even really rare so it shouldn’t be an extinction concern either. Maybe it’s the Florida in me, but I feel guilty about not being a vegetarian but would feel absolutely nothing but relief watching crocodiles be killed!

Definitely don’t buy a bag that doesn’t make you happy but I don’t understand the objection. Also the fact that the leather and meat industries kill days-old baby cows makes me sick!

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)
