Lot Essay

Vert Celadon, also known as Vert Celadon Natura, is a color of exotic skin Hermes Began producing in the late 90s. The word Natura refers to the dying techniques which, in contrast to the Himalayan series later produced, does not involve bleaching the skin to perfect white and then adding ombre color back on top. It is an homage to traditional 1920s exotic dying techniques when it was impossible to purge all color from exotic skins. The gradient effect is caused by the natural texture and color of the animal showing through the dye.
