We also think of these bags as investment pieces because their price tag is typically much higher than more traditional leather goods. As an extreme example, take the Hermes white Himalayan Crocodile Birkin bag. We know that Birkin bags already come with a hefty price tag, but it's safe to say that spending over $300,000 on a bag is a little out of the ordinary. Nevertheless, you can expect to spend a few hundreds to thousands more on the exotic leather varieties of some of your favorite bags.
If your bag has pronounced scales, as with python bags, you'll want to clean in the direction of the scales—not against—and avoid any situations where your bag is exposed to a lot of direct sunlight, humidity, or liquid as all of these factors can contribute to lifting.
Because heat and sunlight are damaging to exotic leathers, storing them properly is key. We've talked about good storage habits for your luxury bags in prior blog posts, but it's always important to note that adequate stuffing and tonal storage bags are what you should be reaching for.
