Just in time for her birthday, Ivana Alawi added an exceptional Hermès piece to her already enviable designer bag collection. During a trip to Japan in early December, the actress made a stop at a luxury consignment boutique to splurge on a gift for herself.
Ivana Alawi Splurges on an Ultra-Rare Himalayan Hermes Kelly Bag for Her Birthday
In a Reel posted to her Facebook and TikTok accounts, Ivana gave a glimpse into her shopping trip. The video opens with her speaking into an intercom, stating, “I’d like to buy a Birkin bag.” Joined by her family, she ascended to the consignment shop’s private showroom, where an extraordinary find awaited her: Not a Birkin, but a rare Hermès Kelly in Himalayan crocodile leather.
“My birthday gift to myself,” she captioned the clip.
The Exact Hermés Himalayan Kelly Bag Ivana Alawi Purchased
Among Hermès’ lineup of exotic materials, the Himalayan crocodile leather is the ultimate symbol of prestige. Revered for its exclusivity and staggering price points, this finish is a sought-after treasure among collectors worldwide.
The bag is crafted from Nile crocodile hide, evocative of the snow-dusted peaks of the Himalayan mountains. Aside from its aesthetic appeal, Nile crocodile is also known for its stiff texture and flexibility, making it a durable material that will last generations.
First introduced in 2020, the Himalayan Kelly is equally as exquisite as its sister, the Birkin. Encrusted with 229 diamonds totaling 9.43 carats, this iteration has since become a collector’s must-have, aptly earning its status as one of Hermès’ most illustrious designs.
