Hermès on Birkin Renaming Request: We're Fixing This Non-Problem!
LatestA day after Jane Birkin publicly asked Hermès to remove her name from Birkin bags made with crocodile skin, the company has released a statement saying that they’re looking into how the animals are treated. What they haven’t addressed is whether they’ll stop referring to Birkin Croco’s as Birkins, but that’s probably because according to them, everything’s cool!
“Jane Birkin has expressed her concerns regarding practices for slaughtering crocodiles,” Hermès International said up front, according to Women’s Wear Daily, making it clear they’re cool with Jane. “Her comments do not in any way influence the friendship and confidence that we have shared for many years. Hermès respects and shares her emotions and was also shocked by the images recently broadcast.”
