Hermes International SCA said it’s talking to Jane Birkin to allay her concerns about crocodile slaughter practices after the actress demanded the leather-goods maker stop using her name on its bestselling bag.
Like Birkin, the French company was also shocked by an animal-rights group’s publication of a video showing reptiles still moving after being shot by a bolt gun at a farm in Texas, Hermes Chief Executive Officer Axel Dumas said Friday.
