A Hermes bag may take 48 manhours to make. They are distributed to Hermès boutiques at very limited quantities, making them very exclusive to the very affluent people.

One of the most expensive is saltwater crocodile skin and those with smaller scales cost more than those with larger scales.

The metallic hardware lock, keys, buckle and studs) is plated with gold or other non-tarnishing precious metals, such as palladium. The metal lock may be covered with leather as a custom option. Diamonds are another custom addition.

Sharon's Hermes Birkin black bag is made of Crocodile skin with diamonds. The Megastar said she has personal reasons in buying the expensive Hermes bag.

She revealed that she did not really plan on buying the Birkin, but after thirty years in the business, maybe it was really time to think about herself for a change.

"After my 30th anniversary, yung isang taong close sakin eh sinabing 'Ma'am, isipin mo naman ikaw.'.... Siguro naman puwede naman na to (buying the bag) kasi parang pamana na to!"
