Chevre Chamkila

My SA told me that Chevre leather originates from India and is named after the region where it comes from. Just my guess but: If H would take this ‘rule‘ seriously, they would need to change the name of the leather every time they are purchasing the leather from a different place. Using a name like Chamkila is probably making things easier as the exact origin is kept more vague.

I bet you are right (so sneaky of H)
Perhaps reading this thread might be helpful.
If I recall correctly, previously there were also Bleu Hydra and Black Kelly Selliers offered in this leather. These are push offers.
ETA: I made a mistake. It's Chèvre Chandra Kelly instead (and it was Bleu Zanzibar not Hydra).

@Meta - could you kindly please point me in the direction of any information about the Black Kelly S in Chamkila?! I did not even know of it’s existence, so thank you!

I just bought an SLG in this leather and I wanted to add that it IS shiny. Just in case anyone finds this thread and wonders about the chamkila.
It is a lot more matte and supple than Mysore which to me has some kind of a plastic coating feel to it but the grains for both are similar. It is not completely matte, still a natural sheen.
I am not gonna lie I just found a chamkila goatskin calvi on H.com and bought it just because its chamkila leather! Punjabi here and we love our amar singh chamkila along with other chamkila (shiny) items.
Hello Hermes lovers!
I have recently purchased a stunning Kelly 25 in noir chevre chamkila and as it’s a recently new leather I wondered if anyone had any insights on it? I absolutely love its sheen. With time is this likely to patina to more shine or not? is it likely to puddle. Is storing standing upright with light stuffing ok?
many thanks all

I have SLGs. Hardier and not as supple as Chèvre Mysore, not as structured as Chèvre de Coromandel (male mountain goat)
I have a mysore calvi and I agree mysore seems to be more supple and slightly less sheen.
compared to Togo K25 chevre is noticeably lighter I hear it’s ok in the rain too. Might just be the perfect skin
