The Hermes bag features [real patent black leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carry-bag) in addition to the bright red crocodile leather used for the making of the feet. The red crocodile leather is also seen around the top of the bag as a chic little belt that is held in place by a silver latch that reveals the Hermes logo upon opening the bag. This is definitely a bag you don't have to worry about ever finding a place to hang up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Bags with Built-in Stands:** The trend of luxury bags incorporating built-in stands offers convenience and functionality for users. - **Artistic Design Collaboration in Fashion:** The trend of fashion brands collaborating with artists leads to unique and visually appealing products. - **Innovative Use of Exotic Leathers in Handbags:** The trend of incorporating exotic leathers like crocodile into handbag designs adds a touch of luxury and exclusivity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can capitalize on the trend of luxury bags with built-in stands by creating innovative designs that offer added functionality. - **Art and Fashion Collaboration:** The art and fashion collaboration industry can explore more partnerships between artists and fashion brands to create unique and visually appealing products like the Crocodile & Black Togo Hermes Bag. - **Exotic Leather Goods:** The exotic leather goods industry can seize the opportunity to incorporate exotic leathers, such as crocodile, into handbag designs to cater to the demand for luxury and exclusive products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whale-Shaped Dynamic Luxury Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whale-baguette-bag.md) - [Versatile Warped Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-3.md) - [Lobster-Shaped Luxury Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-bag.md) - [Luxury Bag Pop Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birkin-bag.md) - [Stiletto Shoulder Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stiletto-bag.md) - [Avant-Garde Handbag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanifa.md) - [Luxury Crossbody Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fyra-bag.md) - [Sparkling Crystal Hangbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-swipe.md) - [Penguin-Resembling Luxe Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-bag.md)
