Shiny Porosus Crocodile Plume Elan 28 Bleu Marine

The Hermès Plume Élan 28 in Bleu Marine Shiny Porosus Crocodile is an exceptionally rare and sophisticated handbag that combines the minimalist, vintage-inspired silhouette of the Plume line with the most prestigious of Hermès exotic skins. Originally designed in the 1960s for travel, the Plume is celebrated for its “feather-light” weight and understated luxury.

Core Design & Material Composition

• Material (Shiny Porosus Crocodile): Crafted from Shiny Porosus Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), identified by the “^” (caret) symbol next to the Hermès brand stamp. This is the most sought-after exotic skin, featuring small, symmetrical scales and a high-gloss Lissé finish.

• Color (Bleu Marine – Color Code 78): A deep, classic navy blue that appears nearly black in low light but reveals rich, oceanic tones under the shiny finish of the crocodile hide.

• Hardware: This specific model is finished with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware, providing a cool-toned, modern contrast to the dark Bleu Marine skin.

• Construction: The Élan version features a more elongated, East-West profile compared to the standard Plume, maintaining a sleek and contemporary aesthetic.

• Dimensions: Approximately 28 cm L x 17 cm H x 7 cm D (roughly 11″ x 6.7″ x 2.75″).

• Handle Drop: Features double rolled top handles with a drop of approximately 10 cm (4 inches), designed for handheld or elegant forearm carry.

• Interior: Lined in tonal Bleu Marine Agneau (lambskin) leather, featuring a large main compartment and internal patch pockets for organization.
