For the Hermès 24/24 bag, Shebag has produced many versions with silver hardware. Many customers in the market believe that Shebag’s silver hardware looks more premium than gold hardware. In fact, Shebag’s gold hardware is equally well made; it is simply that color deviation is inherently easier to control with silver hardware than with gold.

Shebag first conducts precise materials-science analysis on the authentic 24/24 bag’s hardware components, including the H-shaped rotating clasp, bottom studs, and D-rings.
Using equipment such as X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (XRF), the alloy’s primary composition is analyzed (typically a brass base), along with the exact elements used in the surface plating, such as palladium. Palladium plating is more expensive and durable than ordinary silver plating and has a distinctive, refined luster.
Shebag invested 30,000 RMB to purchase its own spectrometer for this purpose.

Once accurate dimensional and structural data are obtained, Shebag invests heavily in producing exclusive steel molds.
High-purity brass, consistent with the authentic base material, is used for precision casting or CNC machining. This step ensures that the weight, tactile feel, and structural integrity of the hardware are identical to the original, especially the smoothness and resistance of the unique rotating H clasp on the 24/24.

Achieving the correct surface finish is one of the biggest challenges in hardware replication. Shebag uses genuine thick-layer precious metal electroplating, such as true palladium plating or high-quality rhodium alternatives, rather than the cheap chrome plating or alloy spray coatings commonly found in low-end replicas.

Shebag precisely controls the thickness of the plating layer, typically to several microns, to ensure luster, wear resistance, and oxidation resistance comparable to the authentic hardware, preventing fading or darkening after extended use.
