ODE to Box Calf
With the Mod's permission, I would like a start a thread to showcase our favourite leather BOXCALF..
ladies and gents: please post pictures of your gleaming, shiny luscious boxcalf bags... the more patina-ed the better! If possible, can we avoid "quoting" the same pictures repeatedly in your comments so that we can accomodate as many different pictures on each thread page Let me start the ball rolling: Chocolate box calf gleaming in the morning sun... |

you are all so very kind....thank you.....
 I have others archangel (chevre, clemence, toile, vache liegee, gulliver, fjord, swift, barenia and three exotics), but boxcalf is my first love. An Hermes boxcalf bag seems to me to be the most perfect embodiment of the Hermes handbag legend. (And since boxcalf has become somewhat hard to find, I've gone a little crazy in its acquisition.)
