You ladies/gents are so knowledgeable! Could I ask what you think the specs are of my bag? Mine should be Rouge H in Box Calf but it seems that there are other details (other than leather, color, or hardware) such as stitching, etc that differentiates each bag and I was wondering if you guys would know any other specs for mine...

Your bag is classic Rouge H box calf retourné....it doesn't need any differentiation :heart: It's pre-2000 from the single handle rings, but you knew the year already. If the strap is original to the bag, the original owner probably specially requested it.
Of course every bag is unique and special. I had an artisan tell me yesterday that he thought about the person that would carry each bag. He especially loved SOs because he would know where they were going and the person's name, but with every bag he finished he pictured the story of who would carry it. So your bag has that spirit imbued in it.

Thank you so much for this information! I was told by Gerry from the Leather Surgeons that it is the original strap. How do you know whether or not it was a SO? And I love that story!

Honestly, pre-2000 I wasn't buying anything in the H boutique :P but in the history of the Kelly, first there were no straps, then at some point optional straps came along (at which point I THINK, but do not know, that you would ask the boutique for a strap to accompany your bag), and then at some point the strap became always part of a Kelly purchase.
I am sure an expert here knows how this whole strap saga evolved!

Hi! Was wondering if anyone could help to take a look at this and confirm if it's chamonix? The stamp is colorless though. Thanks so much.

I remember in one post Bababebi mentioned that Barenia & vache naturel tend to have the colourless heat stamps, and that Chamonix sometimes has it. Most chamonix I have seen though have the silver or gold stamp, but apparently the colourless stamped ones do exist.
