Clemence
Also called Taurillon Clemence
Hermès's large-grained bull-calf leather, softer and heavier than Togo.
Clemence (Taurillon Clemence) is a large-grained leather first seen in Hermès collections in 1992, originally created for luggage and named after the daughter of the designer who introduced it. Its grain comes from drumming. PurseBlog describes it as matte, soft and heavy, possibly the slouchiest and heaviest Hermès leather, while durable, scratch resistant and refurbishable. It comes from the male calf, Togo from the female.
