Questions About Gladstone Bag Crocodile
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Gladstone bags, manufactured in England, were used as general luggage from their debut in the mid-1800s.

They’re also known for their use by doctors to carry equipment for house calls. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of vintage Gladstone bags from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Gladstone bags are still made, but new designs rarely go by that name. Today, you will typically see them called doctor's bags. Medical professionals began using them to carry instruments and equipment at the end of the 19th century. Edward Cole patented the bag in 1854 and named it after former British Prime Minister William Gladstone. Find a selection of Gladstone bags on 1stDibs.

    Yes, Crocodile Birkins are made from real Crocodiles. Niloticus croc is sourced from the Nile river; while Porosus croc is sourced from Asia or Australia. Niloticus scales are generally larger than Porosus. Niloticus is marked with a “..” diaeresis mark in foil; while Porosus is denoted by the “ˆ” (carat) mark in foil. Generally speaking, Porosus is more sought after and has greater resale value due to its smaller and more symmetrical scales.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, there are Birkin bags crafted from real crocodile skin. The main kinds of crocodile that are used to make Birkin bags are the Niloticus crocodile, which is found in Africa, along the Nile, and the Porosus crocodile, which is found in Australia and Asia. Shop a range of expertly authenticated Hermès Birkin bags from top sellers on 1stDibs.
