Hermes has been blasted for breeding crocodiles to make bags.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) branded the French luxury group ‘outdated’ for establishing their own farms to meet the demand for their exotic skin products.

The animal rights group said in a statement: ‘The thought of purposely breeding and killing crocodiles for an outdated, overpriced handbag should make any fashionista’s skin crawl.

‘If Hermes really wants to be a leader in the fashion industry, it should stop killing animals for cold-blooded vanity and use cruelty-free mock croc and fake snake instead.’
