I'm not sure if this Birkin is Epsom but Raisin does come in Epsom.

Her Birkin has that crease on the side that Epsom leather Birkins make because the leather is stiff and not malleable. You don't see this in such a pronounced manner with more supple leathers like Togo/Clemence....Not sure about Chevre, maybe the experts can chime in.

Her bag corners also look lighter in colour (could be lighting though..), which tends to happen quicker with Epsom leather.

You may be right! It does look stiffer than Togo/Clemence.

i was just about to ask what colour it was! can't see it well enough to know if h or not, could it be an overstuffed 25 or 30? ...hmm is this like that rouge bag naomi carries sometimes ?

ok, i made it bigger (time on my hands) and now see certain features i'm not sure about too, enough said!

This lady is a familiar face at Hermes SG. No comments about her "overstuffed saffron croc 25B; saw the H stamp". I'll leave that to the experts.

^ lovely colour anyway.. do you think it's 25 or 30?
