We adopt classic genuine Epsom calfskin with substantial thickness and firm texture. Supported by Shebag’s exclusive European Epsom leather supply chain, we are able to produce high-end replica bags fully comparable to authentic original pieces.

The core production of Hermès Epsom leather is undertaken by its wholly-owned French tannery Les Tanneries Du Puy (LTDP), a Silver-rated certified facility under the Leather Working Group (LWG), serving as the core hub of Hermès’ integrated leather processing system.

Even though LTDP is fully controlled by Hermès, we occasionally source original hides from this French tannery; however procurement faces strict barriers with rigid MOQ requirements set by the supplier.

To mitigate production capacity fluctuations, Hermès supplements supply via world-class premium tanneries including Germany’s Weinheimer and France’s HAAS, with all cooperation implemented under stringent standardized quality control protocols. These two tanneries are also our core material suppliers for Shebag. They operate independently of Hermès’ restrictive policies and prioritize sales to the highest qualified bidder.

Hermès executes a highly vertically integrated governance model for its Epsom leather supply chain, forming a full closed-loop system covering raw hide procurement through finished leather delivery, to maximize supply stability, standardized quality controllability and material scarcity.
