The Hermès 24/24 bag was introduced in 2018 and became popular again in 2026, which is why Shebag began developing it. For newly released Hermès designs, Shebag will promptly purchase authentic bags from Hermès boutiques in Guangzhou, China, usually buying two pieces, with one dedicated specifically for disassembly.

Since Shebag already has access to top-tier European leather supply chains, how does Shebag carry out the disassembly process of authentic bags?

The core purpose of purchasing an authentic bag for disassembly is to obtain internal structural data, precise pattern construction, and hidden manufacturing details that cannot be observed from the exterior.

The disassembly process is carried out by highly experienced artisans. Rather than damaging the bag in a crude way, they carefully remove the stitching and gradually return the bag to individual leather panels and lining components.
This process is designed to fully understand how each component is assembled, especially for complex designs like the 24/24, which combines structured elements (a Kelly-style flap) with a more relaxed, soft body.

Disassembly reveals the internal reinforcement materials, lining types, and the placement and thickness of padding layers. These elements are critical in determining the bag’s final shape, whether structured or draped. For example, the body of the 24/24 typically uses softer leathers such as Evercolor or Togo, while the flap may use a firmer leather like Swift. Shebag precisely identifies and replicates these material combinations.

The installation methods of internal hardware are also analyzed, including techniques such as “pearling,” a distinctive hardware-fixing method that is more durable than standard screws.

Each disassembled leather component is precisely measured, scanned, and converted into digital patterns. This ensures that the replica matches the original down to the millimeter in size, proportion, and shape.

All key dimensions are recorded, including handle height, curvature, and thickness, as well as strap length and attachment methods.

Authentic hardware components are sent to specialized hardware factories for material composition analysis and mold development. Shebag replicates the alloy composition, plating thickness, surface finish, and even the subtle curves of engravings and the H-shaped clasp.

Special attention is given to the unique rotating lock mechanism of the 24/24, ensuring that its smoothness and user experience are identical to the original.

Shebag also analyzes the authentic saddle stitching, including stitch hole angles, thread thickness, and the type of waxed thread used.

At the same time, edge finishing processes such as edge painting and burnishing are carefully studied, ensuring that the edge paint’s color, sheen, layering, and durability are indistinguishable from the authentic bag.
