Hermes Oran Sandals in Metallic Silver

Some assume metallic leather is a synthetic material, when in truth it is genuine calf treated with a thin metal layer that gives its shine without losing the suppleness of leather. This makes the silver Oran a refined evening piece rather than a plastic toy, and in a Gulf womans wardrobe it is an evening staple that suits black and navy and lights up a look. The metal layer is weakest at the edge of the H cut, where the leather is folded and cut, so we directed the inspection to those edges: we confirmed the silver finish adheres fully at the cut edges with no flaking or recession exposing the leather beneath, the first point to fail on poor metallic.

Metallic is leather, not plastic

Design philosophy

Treating leather to a metallic shine without losing its suppleness is precise craft. The result is a piece that carries the shine of metal and the comfort of leather together, so it does not stiffen on the foot like synthetics. Silver in particular gives Oran an evening function that completes its usual daytime one.

What our inspection reveals

The edge of the H cut is the weakest point in metallic, since the leather is folded and cut there and the finish takes the greatest stress. We confirm the silver layer adheres at the edges with no flaking or dull line exposing the leather, then check the sheen is even across the whole surface with no bubble or crack.

FAQ

Is silver leather real or synthetic?

Genuine calf treated with a thin metal layer that gives shine while keeping the suppleness of leather. This is why it does not stiffen on the foot like synthetics, carrying the comfort of leather with the shine of metal.

Does the silver finish flake?

Not with care, and its weakest point is the H cut edge we inspected. Avoid folding the leather harshly and sharp contact, and store it in the cotton bag, so the shine lasts years.

Silver or gold for evening?

Follow the metal of your jewellery; silver is cooler and more modern and suits white, navy and black, while gold is warmer and more classic. A metal clash is caught before a colour clash.

How do I care for metallic leather?

A soft dry cotton wipe after wear, and avoid liquid cleaners that could seep beneath the metal layer. Storing it in the cotton bag away from rubbing preserves the shine.
