Courchevel Leather: An Iconic Hermès Material

Courchevel leather is one of the emblematic leathers used by Hermès during the 1980s and 1990s.

Recognizable by its fine and regular grain, it is appreciated for its excellent structure and strong resistance to everyday use.

Its main qualities include:

✔ Elegant and uniform grain

Today, Courchevel leather has been replaced by Epsom, which makes vintage Courchevel Kelly bags particularly sought after by Hermès collectors.
