The Himalaya Birkin is named for the Himalaya mountains, though the skins used for the bags do not hail from the region. Rather, the skin is made of Niloticus crocodile – an reptile native to the freshwater of Africa – and the bag's name refers to how the careful dying process makes the bag look like the snow capped Himalayan peaks. The Diamond Birkin is a juggernaut that straddles the line between sculpture, luxury handbag, and an object of fine jewelry.
