Many people have found Togo and Taurillon Clemence ( both are calf leathers) to be very similar.

Togo is made from adult bull. Taurillon Clemence is made from baby bull.

Taurillon Clemence is softer, smoother to touch & thicker than Togo. The leather surface also look more matte & the grains are less bumpy.

Here's a pic of Gold Clemence vs Gold Togo

The Hermes soap that is used to clean saddles is very good in cleaning leather.

The official name is "Pain de Savon Glycerine" or "Savon H a la Glycerine" (Sodium Soap in English). It says that it is made out of fatty acids of animal. It's about 14cm long and rectangular/square in shape. It's like a transparent beige/yellow similar to the Neutrogena soap.

It's great. You just need to slightly wet a towel, rub a bit of the soap, and gently apply in the leather.

I used the soap mostly for my other bags as my only Hermes bag, the Kelly, is squeaky clean!

I checked and have boxes done both ways. I wouldn't worry about it at all. :)
