When producing the Hermès Lindy 30 in Black Togo leather, Shebag’s replica workshop aims for a near-perfect “1:1” match through a complete reverse‑engineering process of the original craftsmanship.

Shebag purchases a brand‑new authentic Hermès Lindy 30 in Black Togo leather and fully disassembles it to study the structure, dimensions, and proportions of every component. This step, known as deconstruction, provides accurate pattern cutting data and in‑depth craft details.

Recently, Shebag has integrated AI technology. By inputting over a decade of replica craftsmanship data into the AI system, the workshop can now analyze new bag models efficiently. By entering detailed deconstruction and pattern data, the AI intelligently outputs key craft characteristics and leather supply chain solutions, greatly reducing production time.

Using professional measuring equipment, Shebag calibrates the curvature, length, and angle of each leather panel to create precise 1:1 patterns and molds. The complex curves at the unique side gussets and handle joints of the Lindy represent a major technical focus.

Although direct sourcing from Hermès’ exclusive suppliers remains difficult, Shebag procures top‑grade full‑grain calfskin from Italy or France, focusing on matching Togo’s natural grain, thickness, softness, and ideal resilience.

Black leather may appear simple, but achieving Hermès’ deep, even, and naturally lustrous black finish is extremely challenging. The workshop uses high‑quality imported dyes to ensure color penetrates deep into the leather fibers, avoiding surface‑level or dull “flat black.”

The interior lining uses genuine lambskin matching the authentic version. Hardware components are molded from solid brass blanks and finished with thick palladium or gold plating to match the weight, feel, and luster of the original.

Hermès bags are handmade, and Shebag uses traditional double‑needle saddle stitching throughout. Each stitch is strictly controlled at approximately a 45‑degree angle, with consistent length and tension. This hand‑stitched method is cleaner, more refined, and serves as a key detail in authentication.

Shebag embeds the same internal reinforcement materials and gaskets as the authentic bag in critical areas such as the base and handle roots. This ensures the Lindy maintains its signature relaxed slouchy look during use while remaining structured when empty.
