Are crocodile purses illegal?
1 Answer

No, Crocodile bags are not illegal. However, crocodile bags (and other exotic skin bags such as alligator and lizard) require a CITES certificate (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) to leave their country of purchase and/or to enter the country of destination. This certificate may be procured by the Hermès store upon request.
