The Passe-Guide Ireland is crafted from vivid green crocodile skin. A deep-shade was specially developed by Hermes for this Irish bag. The Irish green handbag adorns a four-leaf clover charm adding the final icing on the cake. The interiors have been done in butter soft lambskin.

The Passe-Guide Scotland is created by famed Scottish weaver, Johnstons of Elgin from Barenia calfskin, known as the best of Hermes leather. The bag embodies every bit of the energy and passion Scotland is famous for. The kilt pin charm swinging to the sides takes the bag’s appeal to another level altogether.

The Passe-Guide Wales is crafted from green box calfskin. The dragon charm is embossed in gold. The A second Welsh Dragon with lambskin linings and gold fitting finishing adorns the front.

The Passe-Guide England is crafted from box calfskin leather. The English bag come with silver fittings and flaunt black fur charm as a tribute to the bearskin hats of the Queen’s Guards. The Rouge Hermes hue which can be seen on the handbag is so named because Hermes was reportedly the first one to request a more vividly colored calfskin way back in 1934.
